Steelers 2024 7-Round Mock Draft

by James Layton

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

Round 6

Pick 198: Jordan Whittington, WR Texas

Round 7

Pick 241: Demani Richardson, S Texas A&M

I am starting to do a Steelers 7 round mock draft each day between now and the first day of the official draft. Today I am doing a regular mock with no trades. Other times there will be trades. As they sign players the needs will probably change. So here we go.

Round 1

Pick 24 Jalen Mayfield, OT Michigan

Round 2

Pick 55 Javonte Williams, RB North Carolina

Round 3

Pick 87 Quinn Meinerz, OC Wisconsin-Whitewater

Round 4

Pick 128 Shaun Wade, S Ohio State

Pick 141 Shi Smith, WR South Carolina

Round 5

They do not have a 5th round pick due to the DL Chris Wormly trade from the Ravens

Round 6

Pick 217 Tre Brown, CB Oklahoma

Pick 225 K.J. Britt, LB Auburn

Round 7

Pick 244 Patrick Johnson, EDGE Tulane

Pick 253 Tommy Kraemer, OG Notre Dame
