The Steelers have seven picks in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft. These include three in the first two rounds. Keep in mind that they acquired a second-rounder and seventh-rounder through trades with the Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, and Denver Broncos. However, they gave up their 2023 fifth-round pick for CB Ahkello Witherspoon and a sixth-round pick for LB Malik Reed. The Steelers also traded WR Chase Claypool to the Bears in 2022. That earned them an extra second-round pick. Yes, the Steelers’ draft plans are not as obvious as they have been in previous years. Still, it is reasonable to presume that the team will address weaknesses in the secondary, defensive line, receiver, and offensive tackle positions. The uncertain aspect, however, is which void will be the priority for coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan. Let’s look at who the Steelers will choose in the 2023 NFL Draft.
