OT: Steelers Draft 2025

[HopeandChangeforAntoons]

Seems like every year there is a player or two in the draft that seem destined to be Steelers: Najee, Pickett, Benton, JPJ, Frazier.

This year it seems like Azareyeh Thomas is the guy. If they can nab him in the 2nd or 3rd that would be sweet. His one knock is his speed so it’ll be interesting to see how he runs in Indy. If he beats expectations he probably doesn’t fall that far.

I’m guessing Egbuka or Burden is their pick at 21 if either is still on the board. Wouldn’t be surprised if they double dip at WR.

DL is the strength of this draft class, so maybe they can wait there. But I think Philly proved the wisdom of investing in the DL and I still think PGH leans that way at 21, unless one of those WRs falls. I’ve seen “experts” predicting Nolan from Ole Miss. Harmon from Oregon is another kid that seems like a fit and could slot there.

WR has been the trendy pick at 21, but I’d rather them look at another position and pursue an offseason acquisition (Kupp, Samuel) to pair with Pickens, who I’m still not sold on.

You raise an interesting point re: DL. That’s my preferred choice in round one, but you could still get a quality prospect on day two.

I would go DL in the first round and another in the 4th or 5th. Sign a WR in free agency and again in the second round. And sign Pickens if doable.

Do you agree with that?

I’m all about BPA and they need help on the DL. But you have to think Cam, Benton, and a 1st rounder would be starting. They also have Leal and Adams still under contract, although either could be expendable if the right player slides. Still I’m not sure drafting two D lineman, when one would be your 4th guy at best, isn’t a luxury when they have so many other needs.

 

[HailtoPitt]

None of it will matter until they have a QB.

So don’t bother drafting anyone, trade away all your picks, and max out your draft capital to take a QB at the 2026 draft in Pittsburgh?

Interesting idea.

Do you agree with that?

I’d wait to mid season
We don’t have a single qb and only Warren at RB

Khan sounded like he's in over his head at the combine. He also talked about bringing Harris back. I don't believe any of it.

Bring Javon Hargrave back. Draft WRs and CBs. Then go .500 because they botched the QB position.

Right.... In the meantime, let the rest of the team go to hell... It's not like the Steelers need help at other positions... Sheesh!

Just the truth of the NFL. Need a QB and an offense that can score. We have neither.

Maybe Fields has a chance to become that, but not with the offense. Doubtful anyway.
