Trade Down with Steelers?

NFL trade talks heat up: I have heard from NFL scouts and there are a number of websites and media networks who have recently reported that the Texans are in talks with the Pittsburgh Steelers for Houston to trade their # 18th pick to Pittsburgh for their # 23 (1st round) & # 88 (3rd round) picks. This would give the Texans two picks in the 3rd round - # 79 & # 88.

The Steelers are wanting to move up in the first round in order to have a chance at getting: Malcolm Kelly, WR, Oklahoma. - This makes sense in order to keep Big Ben happy by supplying him with his requested "taller receiver" and Kelly is one of the best WR in this draft.

I would be all for picking up an extra pick since we won't have our 2nd rounder due to the Matt Schaub trade from last year.

Ehh... I think the cheapest way to adress some of our needs would be this first, but... it is only 5 spots and we receive another pick... too bad we can't get a second rounder insted of the third
