Here is the updated draft order following the week 10 games.
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.
Let’s get into the top 25 prospects.
The Eagles announced Monday the signing of veteran Center Ross Pierschbacher to their practice squad and the release of Cornerback Kindle Vildor from the unit.
Pierschbacher has been a member of four teams over his five year career, he also has played in eleven games. This is his second time being a member of the Eagles.
Let’s get into the updated practice squad.
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.
Let’s get into the Mock Draft.
Round 1
Pick 23: Kalen King, CB Penn State
Round 2
Pick 54: Rod Moore, S Michigan
Round 3
Pick 88: Zach Frazier, C West Virginia
Round 4
Pick 103: Ladd McConkey, WR Georgia
Pick 123: Curtis Jacobs, LB Penn State*
Round 5
Traded to the Rams as part of the Kevin Dotson trade.
Round 6
Pick 184: Nazir Stackhouse, DT Georgia
Pick 185: Jack Nelson, OT Wisconsin
Round 7
Pick 215: Brady Cook, QB Missouri
* Seahawks traded the 123rd (4th) pick and 184th (6th) pick to the Steelers for the 119th pick and a 2025 7th round pick.
The Steeles have been hit hard in the past few weeks with injuries to the linebacker group. They have especially become thin at the inside linebacker position, with Cole Holcomb going down with a season ending knee injury during the Titans Game. And now with Kwon Alexander suffering a torn Achilles tendon against the Packers Sunday.
Veteran linebacker Elandon Roberts has been off and on the injury report all season. So, it would definitely be a good idea to bring in a few linebackers to help add some needed depth. As of right now they only have two inside linebackers on the active roster in Elandon Roberts and Mark Robinson.
They also have three on the practice squad that have played some meaningful snaps in an NFL defensive front. On the practice squad is Tariq Carpenter, Kyron Johnson, and Mykal Walker.
If they are going to promote anyone from the practice squad to the active roster, Walker would make the most sense. Walker has the most experience of anyone on the practice squad at the position. He also adds much needed depth for special teams.
Let’s get into the free agent options and the practice squad options.

Practice Squad Options
The Steelers are coming into this second in the division, with a record of 5-3. Somehow, they keep finding a way to win and the look to continue to do that this week against a new look Packers team.
The Packers are coming into Pittsburgh after beating a bad Rams team. Jordan Love and the offense are going to be a test for this defense that has trouble stopping teams that should be an easy game.
Kenny Pickett and this offense needs to control the time of possession in this game, the defense doesn’t need to be on the field more than the offense. One way to do this is to get the run game going right away, they need to get Najee and Jaylen Warren going early.
Let’s get into the players to watch.
