From Donnie Shell to James Harrison, Jaylen Warren, and many others, the Steelers have had plenty of historical success when it comes to signing undrafted talent. After using up their picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, keep this page bookmarked as BTSC tracks the Steelers’ latest UDFA signings and minicamp invites (and Redman Award candidates) at the bottom of the article.
Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Draft results 2024
- Round 1, Pick 20 — Troy Fautanu, OT (Washington)
- Round 2, Pick 51 — Zach Frazier, C (West Virginia)
- Round 3, Pick 84 — Roman Wilson, WR (Michigan)
- Round 3, Pick 98 — Payton Wilson, LB (NC State)
- Round 4, Pick 119 — Mason McCormick, IOL (South Dakota State)
- Round 6, Pick 178 — Logan Lee, DE (Iowa)
- Round 6, Pick 195 — Ryan Watts, DB (Texas)
The Steelers had a clear emphasis on the trenches in their 2024 draft, securing linemen with four of their seven total picks. However, that focus left the team leaving the draft with a big need still remaining at cornerback, especially with their lone defensive back draft pick, Ryan Watts, seeming to be the best fit at safety in the NFL.
Besides corner, the Steelers could still use some more talent at wide receiver, especially if any big, physical boundary targets are available. A fourth-string quarterback for training camp should also be on the black and gold’s radar, and given the team’s tendencies this offseason, don’t be surprised if Pittsburgh isn’t done adding names to their offensive and defensive lines.
