Behind The Steel Curtain

● By Jarrett Bailey
There is a greater-than-zero chance that the Pittsburgh Steelers and Omar Khan stun the NFL world once again with yet another big-name trade. With all the talk over the last several days being centered around the Steelers’ potential interest in San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk, as well as Aiyuk himself posting directly at Mike Tomlin on X, Steelers fans are putting together their bulletin boards and connecting pieces trying to figure out what a trade would look like in order to acquire the star receiver. Assuming Aiyuk goes for a similar package that A.J. Brown went for, it would be first and third round picks, and potentially a player, being sent to the 49ers. In this mock draft, I explore what the Steelers’ 2024 draft class could look like should they acquire Aiyuk.
