The Steelers have been awarded three compensatory picks – all in the seventh round -- in next month`s draft.

The picks, compensation for free agent losses the previous year, give the Steelers four selections in the final round of the draft and 10 overall. Past seventh-round picks by the Steelers include running back Baron Batch (2011), tight end David Johnson (2009) and defensive end Brett Keisel (2002).

Keisel turned out to be a nice 7th round pick.

As good as we do with UFA rookies, it's like getting three extra of those to pick up. At least one or two is bound to pan out for us and will come cheap. I'd go heavy on o-line with them as potential backups. At least 2 of our 4 seventh round picks would be nice there as well as no lower than a 2nd round pick at T or G. We could very well turn this o-line around in a hurry!
