Pittsburgh There might be another trade candidate for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Several people began to speculate that other teams might make moves after reports surfaced that the Buffalo Bills would trade their 28th pick for the 20th, and it seems like Pittsburgh would benefit from adding a second team
According to Jordan Reid of ESPN, the Arizona Cardinals might be considering a move during the NFL Draft. However, instead of dropping from their second-round position, they would advance from choice No. 4.
“It shouldn’t come as a surprise if Arizona gets aggressive and attempts to move up from No. 27 for a cornerback on Day 1,” says Reid. Murphy-Bunting resembles a CB2 more. For a team still in the talent acquisition phase of its rebuild, Nate Wiggins of Clemson and Kool-Aid McKinstry of Alabama might be Day 1 choices. There is an obvious need for a high-upside CB1.
The Steelers are in a great position to act, but would it be too much to slide all the way to the second round? Arizona should have alternatives at 20 if they’re in the market for a cornerback. McKinstry, Terrion Arnold, Nate Wiggins, and possibly Cooper DeJean could be available with the choice.
The Steelers might revert to their most pressing need, which is a center, in the interim. Graham Barton is the lone player who is almost definitely considered a first-round pick, therefore Pittsburgh may select one of Zach Frazier or Jackson Powers-Johnson in the second round and add a pick further down the draft board.
The Steelers’ draft board now includes a second-round pick as a result of the alleged Bills trade. It might be a third or fourth with Arizona. However, if Pittsburgh wants further selections and doesn’t have a player locked down at No. 20, they might give it some thought.
