Steelers Receive Three Compensatory Draft Picks

PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) - According to the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers received three compensatory draft picks for players they lost during the last offseason.

The compensatory picks are in the 3rd round, 5th round and 6th round, with their 3rd round pick being the highest compensatory pick handed out. That 3rd round pick is due to the loss of Wide Receiver Mike Wallace to the Miami Dolphins.

2nd Round: Pick 12
3rd Round: Pick 33
4th Round: Pick 18

With the addition of three compensatory picks and General Manager Kevin Colbert calling this one of the deepest drafts he's seen, expectations will be at an all-time high for the Steelers to get it right.
