Could Steelers Move Down, Out of First Round?
21 March 2011
by Ed Bouchette

Good morning,

Welcome back. Not a bad spot to return to work after a week off, New Orleans. As you can see, talked to Kevin Colbert here yesterday.

He says he might be interested in moving down in the draft and I said if he did, he’d be making Steelers history. He drafts at the No. 31 spot so unless he swaps places with No. 32 Green Bay, he would trade right out of the first round.

I'm never opposed to trading down and getting more picks if Colbert thinks we can get the players we want with the picks we trade for.

Every team should be welcome to the idea. If you can get a team to give too much, desperate to move up and get a guy they really want, go for it.

When you're sitting in the back end of the first and you have no clue how the board is going to play out, all options should be considered.

I've said before that the #31 pick could be very attractive to someone because of the QB situation. I'm hoping that we get to our pick and Ponder is still there. I think that could cause a team like SF to over pay to jump in front of a couple of the teams drafting earlier in the round.

If we do not see a play at 31 that we really like, the 2nd round should be loaded.
