List of Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft picks Pittsburgh Steelers , a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , participated in the first NFL Draft prior to the 1936 season . The franchise changed its name to the Steelers prior to the 1940 season , to represent the city's heritage of producing steel .event , which is officially known as the "Player Selection Meeting", is held each April. The draft is used as the primary means to distribute newly available talent equitably amongst the teams. Selections are made in reverse order based on the previous season's record, i.e. the club with the worst record from the previous season selects first. Through 2009 , only two exceptions were made to this order: the Super Bowl champion always selects last, and the Super Bowl loser is awarded the penultimate pick. Beginning in 2010 , teams making the playoffs will be seeded in reverse order depending upon how far they advance. The draft consists of seven rounds. Teams have the option of trading selections for players, cash and/or other selections. Thus, it is not uncommon for a team's actual draft pick to differ from their assigned draft pick, or for a team to have extra or no draft picks in any round due to these trades. The Steelers have traded away their first-round pick eight times; they have had two first-round selections in two drafts.inaugural NFL draft was William Shakespeare , a halfback from Notre Dame . The Steelers have selected first overall three times, drafting Bill Dudley in 1942 , Gary Glick in 1956 and Terry Bradshaw in 1970 . The team has selected second overall once, and third overall four times. Through 2009, seven Steeler first-round picks have gone on to have playing careers deemed worthy of enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Bill Dudley, Len Dawson , Joe Greene , Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris , Lynn Swann and Rod Woodson . The team's most recent first-round selection was Devin Bush Jr ., a linebacker from Michigan .Key Player selections Year Pick Player name Position College Notes 1936 3 RB Notre Dame 1937 5 RB Duquesne 1938 4 RB Colorado 1939 99 –ZZZ No pick ZZZ –ZZZ –1940 3 RB Arkansas 1941 99 –ZZZ No pick ZZZ –ZZZ –1942 1 *† RB Virginia 1943 7 FB Minnesota 1944 10 RB St. Mary's 1945 2 RB Florida 1946 3 FB Army 1947 5 WR Texas 1948 9 WR Georgia 1949 6 RB Clemson 1950 8 RB Michigan State 1951 9 FB Alabama 1952 6 FB Maryland 1953 5 QB Detroit 1954 7 RB Notre Dame 1955 6 OT Notre Dame 1956 1 * QB Colorado State 1956 5 RB Mississippi State 1957 5 † QB Purdue 1958 99 –ZZZ No pick ZZZ –ZZZ –1959 99 –ZZZ No pick ZZZ –ZZZ –1960 6 FB Texas Christian 1961 99 –ZZZ No pick ZZZ –ZZZ –1962 5 RB Ohio State 1963 99 –ZZZ No pick ZZZ –ZZZ –1964 10 RB Pittsburgh 1965 99 –ZZZ No pick ZZZ –ZZZ –1966 3 RB WVU 1967 99 –ZZZ No pick ZZZ –ZZZ –1968 10 OT USC 1969 4 † DT North Texas 1970 1 *† QB Louisiana Tech 1971 8 WR Grambling 1972 13 † RB Penn State 1973 24 DB Florida State 1974 21 † WR USC 1975 26 DB Michigan 1976 28 TE Clemson 1977 21 LB New Mexico 1978 22 DB Eastern Michigan 1979 28 RB Baylor 1980 28 QB Arizona State 1981 17 DE Oklahoma 1982 12 RB Baylor 1983 21 DE Texas Tech 1984 23 WR Southern Mississippi 1985 20 DE Wisconsin 1986 9 G Temple 1987 10 † DB Purdue 1988 18 DE Eastern Kentucky 1989 7 RB Georgia 1989 24 OT Pittsburgh 1990 21 TE Liberty 1991 15 DE Florida 1992 11 OT Miami 1993 23 DB Colorado 1994 17 WR Colorado 1995 27 TE Washington 1996 29 OT North Carolina A&T1997 24 DB Maryland 1998 26 G LSU 1999 13 WR Louisiana Tech 2000 8 WR Michigan State 2001 19 DT Texas 2002 30 G Auburn 2003 16 † DB USC 2004 11 QB Miami 2005 30 TE Virginia 2006 25 WR Ohio State 2007 15 LB Florida State 2008 23 RB Illinois 2009 32 DT Missouri 2010 18 C Florida 2011 31 DE Ohio State 2012 24 G Stanford 2013 17 LB Georgia 2014 15 LB Ohio State 2015 22 LB Kentucky 2016 25 CB Miami 2017 30 LB Wisconsin 2018 28 S Virginia Tech 2019 10 Devin Bush Jr.LB Michigan
