Todd McShay says the Steelers are trying to move up
Just hours ahead of the NFL Draft officially opening, the Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly very active in trying to move up.
In a post on X, Todd McShay ran through each of the top 10 teams’ draft plans, in terms of what he has heard from sources around the league. To conclude his post, McShay noted that the “Saints, Rams, Steelers, and Eagles are making a LOT of calls about moving up.”
No 2024 NFL Mock Draft ⛓️ for me. But here’s what I’m hearing…
1. CHI QB Caleb ☑️
2. WASH QB Jayden ☑️
3. NE plan:
-HIGHLY LIKELY the Pats stick and pick Maye.
-Would only move back if A. They get a HAUL to move back and B. They have a 2nd trade in place with AZ at 4 or LAC at…— Todd McShay (@McShay13) April 25, 2024
For the Steelers, that move could be for an offensive lineman that they fear won’t be there at No. 20 should they stay put with their current draft selection.
It was also reported by Tony Pauline that the Steelers reached out to the Broncos about a possible trade, in which the Steelers would take Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell if he was still on the board.
And as was reported yesterday, the Steelers also reached out to Denver inquiring about wide receiver Courtland Sutton.
Whatever happens, the Steelers are being very active. So don’t be surprised if there is another splash by the end of the night.
