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

Pick 120 (from Rams): Tommy Eichenberg, LB Ohio State
