With the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting offensive tackles in the first round in the last two drafts, it’s very likely that 2024 will be Dan Moore Jr.’s last season in Pittsburgh.
With the NFL Draft in the books and the Pittsburgh Steelers roster beginning to take shape, it feels like an appropriate time to get to answer some of your questions about the team moving forward.

Mock Draft Edition
Here are the long-awaited results of the pre-draft, Saturday Open Thread Mock Draft competition.
I got Frazier, but in the wrong round, (OT and a recipe from steelwoman for salmon patties). Next year wrong round is going to get partial credit.
Les Norton got the most rec’s and the most HOFers, but all from the 70’s.
oldiowasteel got Frazier at 51, though all the players chosen were C’s....
The Pittsburgh Steelers want to land a wide receiver via trade, which has been reported for a while now. Obviously, the name thrown around the most has been Brandon Aiyuk from the 49ers, and that rumor was largely sparked out of Aiyuk’s own doing a month ago.
The Pittsburgh Steelers had their choice of cornerbacks throughout the 2024 NFL Draft but only ended up selecting one at the end of the seven rounds. Ryan Watts, a former cornerback for the University of Texas, was drafted by Pittsburgh with the 195th overall pick; the Steelers' second sixth-round selection.
The Pittsburgh Steelers' plan for the 2024 NFL Draft might have been obvious to those inside the organization, but that was definitely not to most fans and analysts who did not expect the team to go with another left tackle.
The Pittsburgh Steelers list of available wide receivers is beginning to dwindle after two players who were linked to potentially fit with the Steelers signed this past week.
The wide receiver selections in free agency are rather slim right now. Tyler Boyd, who the Pittsburgh Steelers had an interest in, still remains. But Odell Beckham Jr.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have one of the best running back tandems in the entire NFL with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren in the backfield. Harris, 26, was the Steelers' first round draft selection of the 2021 draft and was declined his fifth-year option on Thursday.
With the Pittsburgh Steelers declining Najee Harris’ fifth-year option, the running back room could potentially look a lot different in 2025. Harris is set to hit the open market in 2025, while Jaylen Warren is a restricted free agent.

What the Pittsburgh Steelers’ schedule could look like
The NFL schedule release is set to come out in the next week, with the anticipated date being Thursday, May 9th.
With that in mind, why not do a little “Mock Schedule,” if you will. So let’s hop into it. Here’s my Steelers schedule prediction.
Week 1: Steelers at Denver Broncos, Monday Night Football (ESPN)Well, the NFL already ran with “Russell Wilson’s Revenge Game” on Monday Night Football...
Every player in the NFL can hit hard, no matter the position he plays or how big he is. Even at 6-8 and 345 pounds, former Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a remarkably impressive offseason, highlighted by a notable acquisition on the defensive front. They secured former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen on a lucrative three-year deal valued at $41 million.
The Pittsburgh Steelers addressed the trenches with three offensive linemen in the 2024 NFL Draft. Center Zach Frazier is expected to be plug-and-play, and first-round pick Troy Fautanu will likely also start along the offensive line.
The debate regarding Pickett's fair opportunity is certainly contentious.
On April 25, the Pittsburgh Steelers acquired quarterback Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears in exchange for a conditional sixth-round draft pick. At the time, it appeared Fields would back up the newly signed Russel Wilson, though it now seems the Steelers may have a different plan in mind for the dual-threat quarterback.
The Pittsburgh Steelers' running game has been the one positive from their offense over the last several seasons. Najee Harris has eclipsed 1,000 yards every year since entering the NFL in 2021, and Jaylen Warren joined Harris in the backfield in 2022 to form an electric duo.
Pittsburgh Steelers’ fourth-round selection Mason McCormick scored a 9.96 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) out of a possible 10.00. This ranked eighth out of 1,583 offensive guards from 1987 to 2024.
The Pittsburgh Steelres have not won a playoff game since 2016, and urgency around the organization has continued this offseason as the team looks to exhaust all options to win that game in 2024.
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Kenny Pickett in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft with high hopes for his future with the franchise, expecting him to potentially become their long-term quarterback solution.
