The opening night of the 2024 NFL Draft may put the Pittsburgh Steelers in a challenging situation. The best wide receivers and offensive tackles may be gone when they choose at No. 20 overall, and it will be too early to choose a center in terms of draft value.
However, 93.7 Andrew Fillipponi of The Fan suggested trading back from No. 20 as a way to address this possible issue. The Buffalo Bills are becoming a possible contender for the No. 20 pick, according to Fillipponi’s post on X (formerly Twitter).
Rumored Steelers-Bills draft pick trade to keep an eye on: Steelers trade 1st (20th pick) and 4th (98th pick) to Bills for 1st (28th pick) and 2nd (60th pick),”
The 98th pick was miscalled by Fillipponi as a fourth rounder. The Steelers would not receive an additional Day 2 choice from this suggested trade because it is technically a third-round selection.
However, the Steelers would have three options overall, from No. 28 to No. 60, assuming they approved of this trade. They would select twice at No. 51 and 60 overall in the second round.
Additionally, the Steelers would still own a third-round pick at pick No. 84. The Steelers currently own two third-round picks and one second-round selection.
Who Might the Steelers Select in the NFL Draft with the 28th overall pick?
The majority of analysts have claimed that the Steelers’ two greatest needs going into the NFL draft are at wide receiver and center. However, No. 20 might be a strange place for any of those roles.
It is anticipated that the top three wideouts in the top 10 will score freely. While it’s possible that all the centers may still be available, some draft experts contend that targeting the position at No. 20 is premature.
