With Pittsburgh Steelers OTAs in full swing and free agency settling down, we decided to run a new 2024 mock draft simulation. We opted for three rounds and looked at who we view as the top needs heading into the next offseason. We know who the Steelers will deal with in free agency so let’s just jump in.
First round - EDGE Bralen Trice, Washington
Washington’s Bralen Trice is a strong, explosive ed rusher who reminds us a lot of Bud Dupree. With Alex Highsmith heading toward free agency, edge rusher could be a top need.
Second round - OT Kingsley Suamataia, BYU
BYU’s Kingsley Suamataia is one to watch this season. He is a strong, athletic guy who is an excellent run blocker and would be a natural replacement if Chuks Okorafor doesn’t improve in 2023.
Third round - LB Jestin Jacobs, Oregon
Jestin Jacobs was a star at Iowa and will now try to duplicate that success at Oregon. If he can get back to 100 percent after an arm injury, he will be a top prospect with his ability to cover a ton of field.
