Peter Schrager has Steelers taking receiver in first round

Steelers stay put at 20 and take star LSU receiver

The mass consensus is that the Steelers will be taking an offensive lineman in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, with Duke’s Graham Barton and Georgia’s Amarius Mims being the two names atop the board.

That said, Good Morning Football host Peter Schrager released his latest mock draft, and has the Steelers taking LSU wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. with the No. 20 pick.

“I’m still keeping an eye on Steelers GM Omar Khan to make a splash at wide receiver this offseason,” Schrager wrote. “Could that be a trade for Brandon Aiyuk? If not, Thomas is a special talent who helped himself at the combine as much as any player at the position.”

Should the Steelers take Thomas, or any receiver for that matter, in the first round, could we see them use the No. 51 pick and one of their two third round picks to move up and try to get someone like Zach Frazier out of West Virginia? Or maybe they take Blake Fisher out of Notre Dame and Sedrick Van Pran out of Georgia in the third round. There is a variety of options, and we have less than a week to wait and find out.
