How Many Draft Picks Did the Steelers Have Entering the 2023 NFL Draft?
The Steelers enter the 2023 NFL Draft with seven selections, including three picks inside the top 50. Pittsburgh owns its original picks in the first round (No. 17), their second (No. 49), third (No. 80), and fourth (No. 120).
However, Pittsburgh has also maneuvered around the draft thanks to several trades. The Steelers traded former second-round wide receiver Chase Claypool to the Chicago Bears ahead of the 2022 trade deadline and, in return, received the Bears’ second-round pick. That pick wound up being 32nd overall, as there are only 31 first-round draft picks because the Dolphins were stripped of their selection due to tampering.
Additionally, the Steelers sent their 2023 fifth-round pick to the Seahawks for CB Ahkello Witherspoon in September 2021. While cornerback does remain an area of need for the Steelers, Witherspoon is projected to compete with Levi Wallace for a starting outside cornerback spot for the 2023 season after an injury-plagued 2022.

Before the 2022 season, Pittsburgh also struck a deal with the Denver Broncos. The Steelers traded for LB Malik Reed, sending a sixth-round pick to Denver in exchange for Reed and a seventh-rounder.
However, that was not the last move, as the Steelers opted to give Kenny Pickett a veteran option at receiver and swapped seventh-round picks (No. 234 for No. 251) with the Los Angeles Rams for veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson. Although he is coming off a disappointing season, he remains one of the more skilled players — when in full form — at his position and will round out the WR room with Diontae Johnson and George Pickens.
