The Pittsburgh Steelers enter the 2025 NFL Draft with six draft picks – their second-round pick being sent to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for wide receiver DK Metcalf. Head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan held their yearly pre-draft press conference, and Khan led things off by all but guaranteeing the Steelers will take a quarterback at some point in this year’s draft.

“[I know] you guys are going to ask about the quarterback position,” Khan said. “I’ll just tell you guys the same thing we discussed in Palm Beach a couple weeks ago. We go to camp with four quarterbacks. Right now, we have two on the roster, and all options are on the table. [However] we acquire those last wo, i assure you we’ll have four when we go to Latrobe.”

The Steelers continue to be the center of the Aaron Rodgers rumor mill, as they are the team expected to sign the four-time league MVP. They have also become the team many expect to draft Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. It’s very possible those two are the two quarterbacks they add for this season, which would be a very good scenario. They get Rodgers for the 2025 season while landing Sanders and not putting pressure on him to play right away.

Should they not be able to take Sanders, expect a Day Three, or potentially a Day Two pick to be spent on a quarterback like Will Howard or Jalen Milroe.
