Steelers’ 2022 NFL Draft Picks: Who Pittsburgh Took Each Round

The Steelers could draft a quarterback in the first round as they entire a new era.

The Steelers will have a new starting quarterback for the first time since 2003 next season after Ben Roethlisberger’s retirement. 

Mike Tomlin and the Steelers signed former Bills backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky in March, though the rumors regarding a quarterback selection in the 2022 draft haven’t stopped since the Trubisky addition. Trubisky and backup quarterback Mason Rudolph are currently the only quarterbacks listed on Pittsburgh’s roster. 

In Sports Illustrated’s Mock Draft this week, Liberty quarterback Malik Willis was projected to be selected by Pittsburgh in the first round with the No. 20 pick. 

However, the Steelers went with Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett at No. 20. Here is how the Steelers draft has turned out thus far (to be updated during NFL draft):

• Round 1, Pick 20: Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh
• Round 2, Pick 52: George Pickens, WR, Georgia
• Round 3, Pick 84: DeMarvin Leal, DE, Texas A&M
• Round 4, Pick 138 (Compensatory): Calvin Austin III, WR, Memphis
• Round 6, Pick 208 (from Chiefs): Connor Heyward, TE, Michigan State 
• Round 7, Pick 225 (from Jets): Mark Robinson, LB, Ole Miss 
• Round 7, Pick 241: Chris Oladokun, QB, South Dakota State
