Updating Steelers 2024, 2025 NFL Draft Picks after Trading Frenzy

Steelers NFL Draft

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan has been playing fast and loose with the team’s draft picks, making three trades that impact where the team will select both in this April’s 2024 NFL Draft and in drafts to come over the last week.

So let’s take a moment to re-set each of the Steelers’ pick in this upcoming draft, along with how the moves Khan has made have changed things going forward.

2024 PITTSBURGH STEELERS NFL DRAFT PICKS

• First round, No. 20 overall

• Second round, No. 51 overall

• Third round, No. 84 overall

• Third round, No. 98 overall
– Acquired along with two 2025 seventh-round picks from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for pick No. 120 in the fourth round and quarterback Kenny Pickett.

• Fourth round, No. 119 overall

• No fifth-round selection
– The Steelers traded No. 155 in the fifth round, their 2025 sixth-round pick and guard Kevin Dotson to the Los Angeles Rams for their 2025 fifth-round pick and pick No. 120 in the fourth round, which was sent out in the Pickett trade.

• Sixth round, No. 178 overall

2025 PITTSBURGH STEELERS NFL DRAFT PICKS

• First round, Pittsburgh Steelers

• Second round, Pittsburgh Steelers

• Third round, Pittsburgh Steelers

• Fourth round, Pittsburgh Steelers

• Fifth round, Pittsburgh Steelers

• Fifth round, Los Angeles Rams
– The Steelers traded their sixth-round pick in 2025 to the Los Angeles Rams in the Kevin Dotson trade and received the Rams’ fifth-round pick in 2025

•  Sixth round, Houston Texans (But probably not)
– The Steelers traded center Kendrick Green for the Houston Texans’ sixth-round pick, but they likely will send that out the door, as the Steelers traded a conditional sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Chicago Bears for quarterback Justin Fields. The pick will become a fourth-round pick if he plays more the 50% of the snaps for the team this season.

• Seventh round, Pittsburgh Steelers

• Seventh round, TBD
• Seventh round, TBD
– The Steelers acquired two 2025 seventh-round picks from the Philadelphia Eagles, along with a third-round pick in 2024 for quarterback Kenny Pickett and a 2024 fourth-round pick. The Eagles had three seventh-rounders, their own, one from the Denver Broncos, and one from the New Orleans Saints. It’s not yet clear which of the three seventh-round picks the Steelers are getting in the deal.
