Pittsburgh steelers will be responsible for injecting a ready list for the playoffs with high -level talents to help them overcome the bump. In the quarter, it may not be in the cards. Aaron Rodgers continues to postpone his decision, letting the Steelers rush for a starter.
Unless a drastic fall or an exchange on the turn 1, it is unlikely that the quarter of the Colorado Shemer Sanders will be available. This leaves Pittsburgh with sub-optimal candidates of Tour 1 like Jaxson Dart du Mississippi and Jalen Milroe de l’Alabama.

Tackling the quarter position remains a priority, but by taking advantage of a limited project capital after exchanging the DK Metcalf receiver will define the off -season of Pittsburgh.
The Steelers approached vacancy under the center in addition to choosing a polarizing defensive line perspective in the following three -round simulation project, made using Professional football and sports network simulator.
Round 1, Pick 21: defensive tackle of the Mississippi Walter Nolen
Nolen exists in a deep defensive class, which could ultimately push Pittsburgh to wait for the defensive line. However, it offers a real advantage and a mixture of competence against the two phases of the game to make him an instant starter and a national adjustment alongside Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton.

Pittsburgh sometimes had trouble defending the race, and he can never have too many pass rusers – especially as Heyward inches towards retirement. The icon was incredible in 2024, but the father’s time was undefeated.
By not reaching a quarter-Arrière Round 1, the Steelers can avoid the long leash and the unrealistic expectations that accompany this investment. Finding a starter of day 1 with the Pro Bowl instead probably makes more difference for the 2025 team, a decision that aligns more with the actions of the Front Office this offseason.
Round 3, choice 83: the quarter-arre of Louisville Tyler Shough
The Purgatory quarter-Arrière path is not pretty, but the best risk balance and the reward can be to spend choices in the middle of the round on the quarters until we hit.

Shough obtained a media threshing at the start of 2 following his arm talent and athletics which could be released at the next level. He is a pocket passer first, and not too ready to rush, but his best throws are more than worthy to play time.
However, there are warts in his profile which could leave him in the board until the middle of the round 3. He was Justin Herbert Backup to Oregon, which means that it will be a 26 -year recruit. This does not leave much time for development, and its list of laundry injuries does not inspire confidence in its sustainability.
Nevertheless, he is a marginal starter who could quickly return an excess value around the 3, especially if no other veteran is welcomed in the quarter-back room.
