With the 21st pick in the 2025 NFL Draft the Pittsburgh Steelers select

Trade down

 

Not Kaytron Allen!

 

And with that call, raise thy glasses, lads. The draft season is officially upon us!

Grant is a stud. Love to see him there at 21, but if he tests well at the combine may move himself out of reach.

 

Don't you need to TRADE this to the Draft Room?

 

Nah, Allen decided to return to Penn State next season.

 

Treyveon Henderson, Running Back, Ohio State

In all honesty, there are so many routes we can go, and a lot of it depends on what we do in FA. It all starts with acquiring a quality #2 WR in FA. Without that, we HAVE to go WR in round 1, no questions asked. Our decision at QB matters a lot too. I'd be more willing to go with an explosive RB early if we choose Fields (as that makes the most sense stylistically for that type of offense), but if we go Wilson then just build the rest of the team out (CB or DL in the first) and add WR in FA. If we go and trade for Stafford, I think we are pretty desperately all in on the Higgins sweepstakes...

But we will have a lot more idea of what is going on after the FA period closes. QB and WR decisions are going to affect what we even CAN look at in the draft imo.

 

great hustle
Looked like a horsecollar

 

Since when does a horse's collar show great hustle?

 

I think the pick will be on the DL.

Might go with OT again depending on how things fall.


CB and Safety are always a possibility.

Seems like "playmaker" is on the table for our first round pick too. I am sure that it will be a huge part of the free agency agenda as well, but we need more than one.

 

This makes sense. Tomlin loves the splash play....let's be honest, so do the fans.

 

With Grant not participating at the combine due to injury, there opens the door for him potentially being available. I think his best shot at shooting up the draft board was to test exceptionally well (I think he would have). Now that he won't, he might slide into the 20's... we shall see.

 

I think I read the Steelers were considering Grant at pick 52.

 

Maybe? Idk. It seems like NFL scouts/GM's value players far differently than "draft experts" in suits. I am not sure what his true value is, though I would imagine its probably higher than 52. Though, missing the combine for injury changes things, and could lead to any number of outcomes for him.

 

We need more of them. Down the stretch we were basically last in the league in big plays. We have only 1 guy on the whole offense who could make them (Pickens). We need another WR threat and probably a big play threat at RB too if we want to start hitting on the big play more often

 

I'm a fan of this pick at 21 or 52. I wish I could remember where I saw that 2nd round tab. I would post that here for sure.

 

You know, it may have been Derrick Harmon I'm thinking of. One of those top DL.

 

I don't see him making it there, either. Alfred Collins is often pegged as a target for them there.

 

Austin might be a 3rd or 4th WR, but he proved he's capable of making big plays.

 

I think one of Harmon or Grant is on the board at #21.
