TRADE RUMOR: Steelers general manager Omar Khan has officially signed in a $76.5 million contract with…..
Following a hectic free-agency season, the NFL Draft is quickly approaching. Detroit, Michigan will host the NFL Draft in 2024 from April 25–27.
Over the course of the three days of the competition, the Steelers will have seven total selections; but, unless they make a trade, they are not guaranteed a pick in every round. In his first two offseasons at the role, Steelers general manager Omar Khan has been busy wheeling and dealing, which has resulted in the team adding and subtracting selections in the future rounds.
The Steelers’ first trade in the 2024 offseason involved Pittsburgh sending wide receiver Diontae Johnson and the team’s seventh-round pick (No. 240) to the Panthers for cornerback Donte Jackson and a sixth-rounder (No. 178), trading up 62 slots along with the player swap.
Pittsburgh entered the 2024 offseason with two fourth-round picks (Nos. 119 and 120), but traded the latter when they sent quarterback Kenny Pickett to the Eagles for a third-round pick (No. 98) and two 2025 seventh-rounders. With the move, the Steelers traded up 22 slots in the 2024 draft.
Pittsburgh had acquired the extra fourth-rounder from the Rams in the 2023 Kevin Dotson trade, in which the Steelers sent Dotson, a 2024 fifth-round pick (No. 155), and a 2025 sixth-rounder to the Rams in exchange for the Rams’ 2024 fourth-rounder (No. 120) and a 2025 fifth-rounder.
The moves leave the Steelers with one pick each in rounds 1, 2, and 4, two picks each in rounds 3 and 6, and no picks in rounds 5 and 7 of the 2024 NFL Draft. Pittsburgh is set to pick four times in the top 100.
The Steelers have no compensatory picks in 2024.
Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Draft selections for 2024

In 2025, Pittsburgh will choose at their own spots in all rounds excluding the sixth, when they will surrender that pick to Los Angeles in exchange for Dotson. They did, however, acquire an additional 2025 fifth-round pick in return.
Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Draft selections for 2025
First round: Selection (TBA)
Round 2: Selection (to be confirmed)
Round 3: Selection (to be confirmed)
Round 4: Selection (to be confirmed)* Round 5: Two (TBA) selections (one from the Los Angeles Rams)
Round 6: Houston-based Pick (TBA)* Three Picks (TBA) in Round 7 (two from Philadelphia)
The Steelers are not included on this list in case they receive any compensation choices in 2025, which is exceedingly doubtful.
As previously mentioned, the Steelers received a sixth-round pick from Houston when Kendrick Green was dealt to the Texans prior to the 2023 season, and they will also have two more seventh-round picks in 2025 as a result of the Kenny Pickett trade with the Eagles.
