After a very successful start to the 2024 NFL offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers have some pressure on them to finish filling out their starting lineup in the draft.
They still need to add a center, an offensive tackle, and a wide receiver.
One new mock draft predicts they’ll make a blockbuster move to address that last need.
In his latest mock draft for Pro Football Network, Brian Blewis predicted that the Steelers will make a huge splash in the first round. He proposed a trade that would see Pittsburgh send picks 20, 51, and 84 to the Bears in exchange fort he draft’s ninth pick.

He then predicted they’d use that pick to land former Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze.
Odunze’s Huge Last Two Seasons
Odunze wasn’t a huge contributor in his first two seasons at Washington.
In 13 games over those two seasons, Odunze made just 47 catches for 487 yards.
Then he went off over the last two years, establishing himself as one of college football’s best receivers.
Odunze had a breakout 2022 campaign for the Huskies. He made 75 catches for 1145 yards and 7 touchdowns during his junior season.
Odunze’s performance earned him a spot on the All-Pac 12 First Team.
He followed that up with a monster senior season.
In 2023, Odunze made 92 catches for 1640 yards and 13 touchdowns for a Washington offense that averaged the 13th most points in college football and led the Huskies to the national title game.
