Pittsburgh Steelers 2023 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2023 NFL Draft, we will update our Pittsburgh Steelers Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Pittsburgh Steelers from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Steelers:

The Athletic - Dane Brugler (5/3)

11. Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia

A potential first-rounder had he entered the 2022 NFL Draft, Smith was the vocal leader of Georgia's national title team last season. He has big-time closing speed as a pass rusher and plays with the contact balance and block recognition to make plays vs. the run.

Draft Wire - Luke Easterling (5/3)

10. Myles Murphy, EDGE, Clemson

Offensive tackle is another big need, but it wouldn't be surprising for the Steelers to prefer to pass rusher in the first round. Murphy is an explosive edge defender who would pair nicely with T.J. Watt.

Fox Sports - Jason McIntyre (5/3)

9. Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern

Honored as the best left tackle in the Big Ten, he'll be a potential building block on a bad Steelers offensive line.

Below you will find a post-NFL Draft roundup for the Steelers in our consensus 2022 NFL Power Rankings.

ESPN -- Rank: 22

Player who benefited most from draft: OT Chukwuma Okorafor

Okorafor gets his name in bold, but Dan Moore Jr. also qualifies as a player who benefitted from the Steelers' draft. The team didn't address the tackle spot through an external signing in free agency or via the draft, all but solidifying its confidence in Okorafor and Moore. As a rookie, Moore started every single game and showed signs of being the left tackle of the future, while Okorafor had an average season. Either position could've benefitted from an upgrade this offseason, but that didn't happen, so Okorafor and Moore won't have their spots threatened. -- Brooke Pryor

NFL.com -- Rank: 21

Kevin Colbert's final draft as Steelers GM went the way many expected. The man responsible for bringing Ben Roethlisberger to Pittsburgh targeted Big Ben's successor with the first-round selection of Kenny Pickett. The Steelers know Pickett better than anyone -- Pitt and the Steelers share the same practice facility -- and it was telling how Mike Tomlin chose to answer a question about Pickett's immediate viability as a potential Week 1 starter. "He certainly has a chance," the coach said. "... We felt he came ready-made in those ways. Hopefully that's an asset to him in terms of being able to compete and being ready, if his performance dictates." The Mitch Trubisky era could be over before it even started.
