One week after releasing his annual draft guide, perfectly labeled “The Beast”, The Athletic’s Dane Brugler followed up Wednesday morning by putting a bow on the 2024 NFL Draft season with his seven-round mock draft. All 257 draft picks.
In his seven-round mock draft, he had the Steelers addressing a number of key needs, especially early, rounding out a solid draft haul with some newer names on Day Two and Day Three in the process.
Back in March, Brugler had the Steelers trading up to No. 16 to land Georgia offensive tackle Amarius Mims. In his final seven-round mock, Brugler had the Steelers sitting tight in the first round and selecting Duke center Graham Barton, giving the Steelers an answer at the center position while landing one of the more athletic players in the draft class along the defensive line.
