The 2024 NFL Draft is soon here, which means it is soon time to put the mock draft simulators away until next year. The excitement of mock drafts will be replaced by the letdown of our favorite team not drafting the prospect we just know will be a great player. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, their draft needs to be a good one. Their quarterback play should be better in 2024, which means they have a chance to find themselves back in the playoffs if they can fill some key needs in the draft. This seven round Steelers mock draft gives a blueprint of what their draft could look like.
Final Pittsburgh Steelers Seven Round Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 20: OT Amarius Mims, Georgia
Over the past month, Amarius Mims has been a very common mock draft selection for the Steelers. Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan were at his pro day, and the team met with him both at the combine and for a pre-draft visit. Historically, Pittsburgh’s first round pick is relatively easy to predict based on their pre-draft activity. Mims checks all those boxes and fills a major need for the Steelers. Drafting Mims would allow them to move Broderick Jones to left tackle and slide Dan Moore Jr. to the bench. While Mims may not be ready to start right away, he has a very high ceiling. With the right development, Mims could be the Steelers right tackle for years to come.
Other players considered: Washington OT Troy Fautanu, Duke C/G Graham Barton, Iowa DB Cooper DeJean
