With only a month left in the regular season of college football. It’s time to start taking a longer look at the NFL Draft prospects. No doubt you probably have already been paying attention to some players. But I think it’s time to look at the top twenty-five prospects as of right now.
It maybe only week 10 of the season. And the Steelers are 6-3, but it’s never too early to start doing mock drafts too see what players are going in what rounds and the rankings of the players.
The Steelers do have some big needs for this offseason. These are their needs: CB, S, LB, OT, OC, DL, WR, Edge, QB. As of right now the Steelers have seven draft picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
It may only be week seven of the season, but it’s never too late to start looking ahead to the NFL Draft. The Steelers are not what we expected following a impressive pre-season. The Steelers defensive secondary has been struggling this season.
The secondary and offensive line are two needs for the steelers need to add too this off-season.
It’s hard to believe were already in week 5 five of the NFL season. So, it’s time to start looking forward to the NFL Draft, for some fan bases. So here is the first look at the 2024 draft order.

I’ll be updating the draft order again after week eight.
Every week I try to find a game for schools that have produced some quality players over the past few years, that recently have had a decline. But these two schools may not produce that many players each year, they are still have a couple each year.
Just a recap of some of the recent players drafted by these teams. Temple had CB Rock Ya-Sin (Ravens), LB Tyler Matakevich (Bills), and OT Dion Dawkins (Bills). Tulsa had DL Trevis Gibson, LB Zaven Collins, and OL Chris Paul.
This a good matchup between two schools that have produced some top quality defensive players over the past few seasons.
Just a couple of names that have come out of them. Isaiahh Loudermilk (Wisconsin), Nick Herbig (Wisconsin), Daiyan Henley (Washington State), and Gardner Minshew (Washington State).
There are twenty-seven unsigned draft picks, among those are eight first round picks. Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Anthony Richardson have yet to sign their contracts.
Let’s get into the complete list.
Cardinals Round 2: B.J. Ojulari, LB
Panthers Round 1: Bryce Young, QB
Lions Round 1: Jahmyr Gibbs, RB Round 2: Brian Branch, S
Packers Round 2: Luke Musgrave, TE Round 2: Jayden Reed, WR
Texans Round 1: C.J. Stroud, QB
Colts Round 1: Anthony Richardson, QB Round 2: Julius Brents, CB Round 4: Blake Freeland, OT
Rams Round 3: Byron Young, DE Round 3: Kobie Turner, DE Round 4: Stetson Bennett, QB
Dolphins Round 2: Cam Smith, CB
Patriots Round 1: Christian Gonzalez, CB Round 2: Keion White, DE
Saints Round 2: Isaiah Foskey, DE
Jets Round 1: Will McDonald IV, DE Round 2: Joe Tippman, C
It’s never too early to start looking at the next class of draft prospects. This is looking to be a better class then the 2023 draft class. With Caleb Williams and Drake Maye at the lead of the class. This class seems to be a little deeper than the 23 class as of now.
I know your probably burnt out from draft talk, with the 2023 draft just ending four days ago. But football never stops, and finding the next group of players to help your team never does either.
So here is my early top 50 prospects for the 2024 NFL Draft. This is looking to be a very good Quarterback year as of now, with Caleb Williams (USC) and Drake Maye (North Carolina) as the leaders of the pack. You also have the son of an NFL hall of fame wide receiver in Marvin Harrison Jr as the top wide receiver.
This is also a good offensive line class. Aswell as another strong defensive class. That’s lead by CB Kool-Aid McKinstry (Alabama) and Edge Jared Verse (Florida State).
