The Pittsburgh Steelers own seven picks in the 2024 NFL draft, including two in Round 3 and two in Round 6. After an active free agency period in which they traded former No. 1 Kenny Pickett and obtained nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson along with ex-Bears first-rounder Justin Fields, Steelers fans will be eager to see what the next round of acquisitions could bring.
The Steelers finished 10-7 last season and made a late push to reach the playoffs, but the new QBs and the hire of a fresh offensive mind in coordinator Arthur Smith has Pittsburgh thinking bigger.
The 2024 NFL draft will take place at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit from April 25 through April 27. Round 1 will begin April 25 at 8 p.m. ET, while Rounds 2 and 3 are on April 26 starting at 7 p.m. ET. Rounds 4 through 7 begin at noon ET on April 27. The draft will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ and the ESPN App. There are 257 total picks in the draft.
Here's the full list of the Steelers' draft picks by round, along with a look at their top roster needs headed into the 2024 season.

Top three needs: C, OT, WR. The Steelers addressed most of their needs in the early waves of free agency with the exception of center and offensive tackle. They released Chukwuma Okorafor and Mason Cole, leaving the team without a swing tackle and starting center. And 2023 first-round pick Broderick Jones projects as a left tackle (but played right last season), and four-year starter Dan Moore Jr. has been vocal about preferring the left side. The Steelers could target a right tackle early in the draft, moving Jones to the left side and Moore to a swing spot, but they also need to address center.
And after trading Diontae Johnson, Pittsburgh needs a steady No. 2 receiver behind George Pickens, and coach Mike Tomlin said Pittsburgh might wait until Day 2 on that. -- Brooke Pryor
