Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said today it is unlikely the team will move up in the first round of the National Football League draft because they have only eight draft picks and will need them to replace the players they've already lost in the offseason.
Colbert also reiterated what he said during the NFL owners meetings last month -- that it is not imperative that the player whom the Steelers select with the 17th overall pick be an immediate contributor.
Because the NFL draft does not have the usual number of marquee players at the top of the first round, Colbert believes the Steelers will get a "quality player" when the first round of the three-day draft commences Thursday night.

I think there's a better chance of them trading down than trading up. _________________  If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

| It certainly will be interesting to see what happens. I think they'll stay in the position they're at now, but that's just my guess. | |
