They grabbed Alabama-wide receiver Jeremy Bernard in the second round and Iowa offensive lineman Jennings-Dunker in the third, boosting their offense. Big time. To Lamber and Art at pick 47, they dealt picks 53, 135, and 237 to the Colts, sliding up six spots in the second, but dropping 12 in the seventh and losing a fourth rounder. Then for Dunker in 96, they sent picks 99 and 216 to the Seahawks, gaining just three spots, but giving up a sixth round. Pick both lost picks were compensatory ones they earned earlier. Now heading into day three, the Steelers have added five players total after starting with 12 picks, netting out two trades down to five left. Fourth round pick, 121, fifth round, 161, and three seventh rounders at 224 from the Patriots, 230 from the modern.
