In anticipation of the Pittsburgh Steelers preseason finale, I wanted to look at a few things before I can dive into information after the game. In the preseason, we get an opportunity to see more action from younger players generally, so I wanted to put a table together of how the 2024 draft played out for Pittsburgh and the Detroit Lions heading into the game:
Other than getting a reminder of how the draft went for both teams, I also saw some fun takeaways. Each squad made seven selections, with neither having fifth or seventh round picks. The Lions also lacked a third rounder, doubling up in the fourth and sixth rounds.
