The Pittsburgh Steelers head into the NFL Draft with 10 picks and General Manager, Kevin Colbert, says the team is open to anything.

With 10 picks in the 2019 NFL Draft,  the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the driver’s seat on what direction they’d like to go come draft day. Whether it’s moving up, sitting on all ten or possibly adding more, this team can use all their ammunition to provide even more options for their draft plans.

According to General Manager Kevin Colbert, the Steelers are considering everything. He told Jeremy Fowler that the team can use the 10 picks to trade up or add 10 new players.

This is the year to have multiple picks. The draft class is full of talent, including numerous players in the later rounds that are considered major steals. Pittsburgh is hoping to add players as far as a backup tight end and could use the mid to late round picks to find that player.

Pittsburgh also has the options to move up. This could be in the first-round or towards the middle of the draft. The opening round has a ton of superstar potential and the Steelers could find themselves moving up for the first time since they draft Troy Polamalu to try and select their next Hall of Famer.

Despite losing Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell this offseason, the Steelers have a ton of opportunities to replace star talent. They’re hoping to find plenty of diamonds in the rough from start to finish, and they certainly have the picks to find them.

The headlines are over and the Steelers are looking ahead to the draft. It’s been an exciting offseason since the drama ended and Pittsburgh has been adding quality talent to fill their needs. The NFL Draft will be the next step in their journey for a playoff push in 2019.
