Steelers Ready to Trade Up for Right Player in NFL Draft
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Pittsburgh Steelers need a "special player" to be available and sliding down the NFL Draft board in order to make a move up, but the team isn't going to hesitate to get their guy if the opportunity presents itself.
Speaking at the NFL Combine, Steelers general manager Omar Khan said "all options are on the table" for this team either moving up or back in the draft.
"If he's a good football player and we have the opportunity to go get him, we can get him, we're going to go get him," Khan said.
The Steelers currently hold the 17th, 32nd, 49th and 80th picks in the first three rounds of the draft. Khan highly anticipates receiving a number of phone calls from other teams looking to make trades for either their first or second pick, and said Pittsburgh will field all offers.
"It gives us opportunity to do a lot of different things," Khan said. "We have a lot of scenarios that we talked about. Everything is on the table right now. It gives us options. With this draft being as good as it is, we're excited to have it."
Khan praised Chase Claypool, who the Steelers traded with the Chicago Bears for the 32nd pick, but said having that selection gives the team a ton of different outlooks on the draft.
And with the 17th pick as their starting point, don't be surprised if the Steelers get aggressive early in the NFL Draft.
