The Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC North) own 9 picks in the 2027 NFL Draft, starting at projected No. 26 overall in round 1. They hold a round 3 pick (projected No. 78) from the Dallas Cowboys, a round 5 pick (projected No. 142) from the Dallas Cowboys and a round 6 pick (projected No. 174) from the Dallas Cowboys, plus 1 more acquired pick. They traded away their own round 4 pick (projected No. 122) to the Dallas Cowboys and round 5 pick (projected No. 154) to the Miami Dolphins. The Big Board's 2027 team-needs model rates quarterback as the biggest need (grade 58, moderate need), then interior offensive line (72) and tight end (78). Since the March 2026 grades the model moved QB need up (72 → 58), WR need down (88 → 90) and OT need down (76 → 90) and 1 more; the quarterback read uses Aaron Rodgers, 42, 2 starter seasons. Mike McCarthy is the head coach and Omar Khan the general manager.
