Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft is set to kick off Thursday, April 25 from downtown Detroit, Michigan, marking their first-ever opportunity to host the NFL draft. Though the No. 1 overall pick is a foregone conclusion at this point, with USC quarterback Caleb Williams a presumed lock for the Chicago Bears, there’s plenty of other excitement in store, including the mystery of what the Pittsburgh Steelers will do with the 20th overall pick and how they’ll manage to address all their top needs.
It was an aggressive offseason from Steelers GM Omar Khan, with a total re-haul of the quarterback room, moving on from Kenny Pickett & Co. in favor of Super Bowl XLVIII champion Russell Wilson and promising dual-threat youngin’ Justin Fields. They traded away Diontae Johnson, a cornerstone of Pittsburgh’s offense since drafted back in 2015.
Now, heading into the draft, the Steelers will look to rebuild that offensive line, while adding depth at wide receiver opposite George Pickens and options at cornerback — no small task, given just how big those needs are. Here’s everything you need to know about when and how to watch the 2024 NFL Draft.

Here’s a complete list of the Steelers’ draft picks following trades they’ve made in the offseason, including that of quarterback Kenny Pickett and wide receiver Diontae Johnson:
Three teams do not have a pick in Round 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft:
The Panthers traded what eventually became the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft (presumed Caleb Williams) in a trade pursuing 2023 No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young.
The Cleveland Browns traded their 2024 first-round pick in the trade to acquire Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans. The Texans then traded that pick to the Minnesota Vikings in a pick swap in mid-March, receiving the No. 42 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, a sixth-round pick, and a 2025 second-round pick in exchange for pick No. 23 and No. 232 (seventh-round).
The Houston Texans do have control of their own first-round pick this year (No. 27), having traded that to the Cardinals during the 2023 NFL Draft in pursuit of edge Will Anderson Jr.
