The Steelers have been busy this week with scouts and coaches going to the Shrine Bowl and also the Senior Bowl in the same week. The team is definitely bent on winning not only a playoff game, but also adding to the Lombardi case.
The Steelers scouting staff and coaching staff have been pretty busy this week with meeting with potential new Steelers players at the Reese’s Senior Bowl. Head Coach Mike Tomlin has been especially busy watching players on the field during practice, and paying close attention to players that would help build this team to win a seventh super bowl.
Among the players Mike Tomlin has been watching are Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson and Ohio State defensive tackle Michael Hall.
The steelers finally have their draft picks set. Even though the playoff didn’t go the way the Steelers wanted, it’s time to start to re-tool and build for the 2024 season. The Steelers suffered a ton of injuries to the defense this season, and it showed we didn’t have the depth we needed.
The Steelers also need to add a couple of more players to the offensive line to protect Kenny Pickett or whoever will be the quarterback. They also could use another playmaker at wide receiver.
Let’s get to the mock draft.
Round 1
Pick 20: Amarius Mims, OT Georgia
Round 2
Pick 52: Adisa Isaac, Edge Penn State
Round 3
Pick 84: Nehemiah Pritchett, CB Auburn
Round 4
Pick 119: Drake Nugent, C Michigan Pick 120 (from Rams): Tommy Eichenberg, LB Ohio State
It’s that time of the year again. When you start to look at the draft prospects for the 2024 NFL draft. This year’s class of quarterbacks are looking to be one the deeper classes in the past five years.
This is a deep class of top talent at the position. Leading this class is Drake Maye (North Carolina), Caleb Williams (USC), and Heisman winner Jayden Daniels (LSU).
The college football season is now over. And the NFL playoffs are officially upon us. So, it’s time to start to look more intently at the 2024 NFL draft and the top prospects for it. This is looking to be a loaded class just like the past couple of years. But this is a better quarterback class that could have five players go in the top twelve picks.
It’s that time of the year again where players start to declare for the NFL Draft. But if you’re not formular with who can declare here who can.
Any college player that has completed four years of college eligibility, as distinguished from those who had a redshirt year, will be considered eligible for the 2024 draft unless a player submits a request to not be considered for the draft to the league by Feb. 2. Underclassmen must be out of high school for at least three seasons before they can request the NFL’s approval for special draft eligibility.
The Steelers have had a few tough losses this season. And a lot of injuries have been stacking up over the last couple of weeks. With injuries to key positions groups like inside linebacker, quarterback, and in the secondary.
The Steelers are in a position to right now to keep building the team using both free agency and the draft. But it’s starting to get to the time when the draft is going to be more important than free agency. Since QB Kenny Pickett and WR George Pickens will be entering the third year of their contracts. Also, TE Pat Freiermuth will be entering the final year of his contract.
Let’s get into the mock draft.
Round 1 Pick 18: Nate Wiggins, CB Clemson
Round 2 Pick 50: Rod Moore, S Michigan
Round 3 Pick 82: Sedrick Van Pran, C Georgia
Round 4 Pick 116: Danny Stutsmann, LB Oklahoma Pick 118: Rick Pearsall, WR Florida
I know it’s early for a mock draft since the steelers are in hunt for the playoffs. And it’s only week 12 of the season. But it’s never too early to look at where the prospects are going right now.
The Steelers could use help on both sides of the ball, but they especially need secondary help on defense.
Let’s get into the mock draft.
Round 1 Pick 23: Kamren Kinchens, S Miami (FL)
Round 2 Pick 54: Quinyon Mitchell, CB Toledo
Round 3 Pick 87: T’Vondre Sweat, DT Texas
Round 4 Pick 105: Johnny Wilson, WR Florida State Pick 118: Danny Stutsman, ILB Oklahoma State
It’s getting to that time of the year again. Or as I call it the best time of the year, NFL draft season. The 2024 NFL draft is only 161 days away. So here is my top ten quarterback prospects.
It looking to be a good draft class so far. Depending on who decides to return to school.
