2024 NFL Draft predictions for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Who will the Steelers select in Round 1, 2, and 3? Read the Steelers' 2024 NFL Draft outlook.
Steelers 2024 NFL Draft First-Round Prediction
Pick: No. 20 Overall
Player Prediction: Jackson Powers-Johnson - C, Oregon
DRAFT ANALYSIS: The Steelers are old school when it comes to the draft, eyeballing the best player on the board with a devil-may-care attitude about the so-called analytical draft value. Jackson Powers-Johnson, fresh from stealing the show at the Senior Bowl, could be that guy. He’s got that unicorn mix of bulk, brawn, and ballet-like finesse and could easily slot in at guard. Here’s the kicker: Pittsburgh is practically sending out an SOS for a center, and given their love affair with the ground game, snagging JPJ feels like destiny.
Sure, there’s some static about their QB situation long-term, but with Russell Wilson helming the ship and Justin Fields in the bullpen, the Steelers are set for a wild ride in 2024 either way. Don’t be surprised if they also cast a longing glance at a first-round wide receiver. After all, who doesn’t love a shiny new toy for their QBs?
Steelers 2024 NFL Draft Second-Round Prediction
Pick: No. 51 Overall
Player Prediction: Keon Coleman – WR, Florida St.
DRAFT ANALYSIS: One of the most talented wide receivers in this draft, Coleman falls a bit after running just a 4.61 at the NFL Combine. While that might be screaming "red flag" to some teams, his metrics tell a different story. Coleman reached 20.3 mph during the gauntlet drill, the fastest of any WR in the last two years.

This guy won't even turn 21 until after the draft and was largely held back by poor QB play during his first two years at Michigan State before transferring to Tallahassee in 2023. Coleman has an insane catch radius and can also be a YAC monster. The biggest question is just how well can he separate at the NFL level, but the talent is there. If there's a team that knows a thing or two about drafting receivers on Day 2 it's Pittsburgh.
Steelers 2024 NFL Draft Third-Round Prediction
Pick: No. 84 Overall
Player Prediction: Blake Fisher – OT, Notre Dame
Pick: No. 98 Overall (via Philadelphia Eagles)
Player Prediction: Chau Smith-Wade – CB, Washington State
