The 3 biggest remaining needs for the Steelers heading into Day 3 of the NFL Draft
Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

The Pittsburgh Steelers are batting .1000 after their first four picks in the draft but there is still plenty of work to be done as the team looks to get further in the playoffs in 2024-2025.

The Steelers have three picks on Day 3 - two of which are in the sixth round and potentially could be packaged via #178 and #195 overall.

So, with all that being said, let's take a look at the Steelers' three biggest remaining needs heading into Day 3 of the draft.

1. Cornerback

The only position left as a must-solve for the team, I would be shocked if Pittsburgh left the draft without addressing the CB room and I think it could happen early, with the Steelers' best-remaining pick at 119 overall. 

Potential options: Cam Hart, Notre Dame, T.J. Tampa, Iowa State

2. EDGE

We know Pittsburgh likes to build strength on strength and while edge rusher boasts the best player on the team via T.J. Watt, I could see them adding to the room with a few notable players left on the board. 

Potential options: Austin Booker, Kansas, Jaylen Harrell, Michigan, Braiden McGregor Michigan 

3. Defensive Tackle

Another strength of the team, Pittsburgh will need to add some more depth along the defensive line at some point. But with a few big names slipping to day three, DT could very well be in play in round four. 

Potential options: Brandon Dorlus, Oregon, Justin Eboigbe, Alabama

These positions could use some help, too

  • Position D: Safety
  • Position E: Nickel-Slot Corner
