One 1st round (early) ..... late 1st round, close to early 2nd rounder..... 3rd rounder... etc...
Really, the Pittsburgh draft pick is pretty much re-couping the lost 2nd round pick that we lost in the Cammalleri deal.

I see what you're saying, but at the end of the day, we still have Cammalleri as an asset that could be traded before the draft, or stick around and mentor younger players before being traded at the deadline.
