This year’s NFL Draft is huge for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it is not just because it is new general manager Omar Khan’s first one that he is in charge for. The Steelers have who they believe to be their franchise quarterback in Kenny Pickett on a rookie deal, now is the time to strike and open up their Super Bowl window.
Robert Weintraub of Football Outsiders believes the best way for Pittsburgh to do this and open up that Super Bowl window is to trade up in the draft. Writing today about the Steelers, Weintraub said Pittsburgh should trade one of their second round picks (32, 49) and move up in the first round of the draft because their three top 50 picks are good, not great.
