Summary: Pittsburgh acquired 2026 2nd round pick (47th overall, Germie Bernard) and 2026 7th round pick (249th overall subsequently traded, Garrett Nussmeier) from Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts for 2026 2nd round pick (53rd overall, CJ Allen), 2026 4th round pick (135th overall, Bryce Boettcher) and 2026 7th round pick (237th overall, Seth McGowan). Analysis: The available record points to a balanced exchange rather than a clear steal. Pittsburgh addressed its roster or draft-board preference, while Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts received comparable value in return. The grade is deliberately conservative because part of the source record is incomplete, conditional, approximate, or still too recent for a firm historical verdict.
