The Steelers acquired the No. 14 overall pick from the Patriots, moving up from No. 17 overall.

With the selection, Pittsburgh drafted Georgia offensive tackle Broderick Jones.

Jones started at left tackle for the Bulldogs, becoming a 2022 first-team All-SEC selection. He started four games in 2021 and then all 15 of the program’s contests in its second consecutive year winning the CFP National Championship Game.

Now Jones will have the opportunity to block for second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett and third-year running back Najee Harris.

In addition to the pick swap in the first round, the Patriots received the No. 120 overall pick in the fourth round in exchange for No. 14.

  1. Not sure of this, but if it works even just decently, the 4th rounder can be forgotten.

  2. Patriots only got an extra 4th to move down 3 spots? Doesn’t seem like much…

    The pats should take Ngiba. They won’t miss on him.

  4. Cool… trading down again. Who would have seen that coming? Now Belichick can draft TWO players who won’t help his team and will probably be out of football in 4 years.

  5. Waiting to hear about BB making the greatest move in draft history and fleecing all of the 31 other teams.

    Facepalm.

    Except the talent in mid Rd 1 and beyond are kinda the same.

    BB has had some fantastic 3rd and 4th rd picks. He has 4 4ths. Simply outstanding to add another pick to control the middle of the board.

    Do you see anyone else doing it?

    Kid, you better hope Belichick hits on at least one of these picks. Considering he’s a lame duck and on his way out, he won’t want to choke. But with his awesome drafting skills, there’s an excellent chance he will. It’s going to be glorious!

  8. Joe Porter Jr and Brian Branch still avail at CB/Slot, and Simpson/Sanders available at LB. A lot to mull over in next 24 hrs for Steelers.

  9. When was the last HOF tackle lined up for the Steelers? It has never been the priority over say centre or guard for the black and gold. I hope Jones is great, but the Steelers paid full price.

    Wasn’t greatest in history, but he did pick up something useful for a later round. Didn’t fleece the entire league but certainly stuck it to the Jets (although their consolation prize still wasn’t bad). And then finished with a player considered best available at his position and many had projected top 10. So no, the world did not turn over. But all in all that was very well played.

    You should be more concerned about the Pitts choices, they have stunk recently. Half of them out of the league or on other teams – meanwhile Pitts goes 6-11 next year

  12. Good they are picking Defense seeing how that’s the group that will be on the field the most.

    Dude I was thinking the same exact thing! Guessing we trade out of 32 and get more picks, but I’m hoping they grab one of those four
