The Steelers usually draft several players from this group, so we've been tracking the visiting prospects each day. (You can find the full list and scouting reports on each player right here.) Now that the full list is known, it's time to zoom out and examine what we've learned. Did the first-round pick visit? Let's start with the top prospects.

Pre-draft visitors often offer clues about which players or positions the Pittsburgh Steelers will be targeting. In 2023, for example, the team's top four draft picks (Broderick Jones, Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton and Darnell Washington) all visited before the draft. Last year, Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier, Payton Wilson, Mason McCormick, Logan Lee and Beanie Bishop visited. In the weeks leading up to the draft, we'll be tracking all of the visitors here.

As the Aaron Rodgers indecision continues, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been doing their homework on quarterbacks. Both of the signal callers who might fall into the Steelers' range in the first round - Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart - visited Pittsburgh, as did Louisville's Tyler Shough, QB4 on draft guru Dane Brugler's board.

This could directly impact the Steelers. The Saints hold the ninth overall pick and could now be more interested in Shedeur Sanders or another QB.
The #Saints suddenly have a major QB question: Starter Derek Carr is now dealing with a shoulder injury that threatens his availability for this season, sources say. Carr is weighing options, including the possibility of surgery. https://t.co/QNdc9ipE8P
