A Look into Where Pitt Stars Wind Up in Final 2024 Mock Drafts

Pitt has had at least one selection in each of the last 10 NFL Drafts, dating back to defensive tackle Aaron Donald, quarterback Tom Savage and wide receiver Devin Street in the 2014 NFL Draft, and there’s an expectation that there will be a few more Panthers selected this weekend.

There may not be a first-round selection (a la Kenny Pickett or Calijah Kancey) or six players selected over the course of the weekend (as was the case ; last season), but there will likely be a few Panthers who hear their names called.

The 2024 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday, April 25 at 8 p.m. The spectacle is being held at Ford Field in Detroit, Mich. and will continue Friday (second and third rounds) and Saturday (fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds).

So, let’s take a last look at some of the last projections ahead of the draft.

Dane Brugler — The Athletic

Round 5, pick 165, Baltimore Ravens: Matt Goncalves

Round 5, pick 171, Philadelphia Eagles, M.J. Devonshire

Round 6, pick 193, New England Patriots, Bub Means

Brugler’s thoughts on Means:

“It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Patriots draft multiple receivers, and Means is an impressive size/speed athlete with a ball-winning attitude. One of the reasons Means transferred to Pitt was his familiarity with former wide receivers coach Tiquan Underwood, who was recently hired by the Patriots. It’d be a fun story if they were reunited.”
