What will the Steelers pick first?
Malik Willis? Kenny Pickett?
Round 1, pick 20: Chris Olave, WR, Ohio St
There weren’t a lot of options here the way this draft played out. Malik Willis went second overall to Detroit, but there wasn’t a big run on quarterbacks which put other players in play for the Steelers. Given the options, and after a lot of debate, this was the pick that won out.
Round 2, pick 52: Travis Jones, IDL, UConn
This one was a little bit more clear-cut by the live chat. Although the Steelers did not send anybody to UConn‘s Pro Day, this is still a pick many fans would like and therefore Jones what is the Round 2 selection.
Round 3, pick 84: Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington St.
It figures this is how the draft plays out. All the top players that were remaining seemed to be either wide receivers, defensive lineman, or running backs. With the Steelers already picking two of those positions, and using their first pick on a running back in 2021, the best offensive tackle remaining ended up being who the viewers went with.
Round 4, pick 138: Coby Bryant, CB, Cincinnati
This pick had a pretty good consensus with most of the live chat. The fact that we were even discussing it had some people frustrated. Needless to say, it was an overwhelming response.
Round 6, pick 208: Tyquan Thorton, WR, Baylor
At this point, it was drafting as much for position as anything based on the top players that were left. This was a tough call, but ultimately the Steelers took their second wide receiver in the draft.
Round 7, pick 225: Isaiah Pola-Mao, S, USC
One thing that was definitely wanted in the live chat was some Steelers bloodlines. As previously mentioned, Connor Heyward was off the board. The next top priority was Troy Polamalu’s nephew coming to Pittsburgh.
Round 7, pick 241: Noah Burks, EDGE, Wisconsin
There was no need to add Quentin Lake as the Steelers just took a safety with the previous pick. This final selection ultimately came down to the Steelers having success picking Wisconsin edge rushers in recent years, so taking a flyer with their last pick was as good as anything.

3rd round, 84th pick
4th round, 138nd pick
