With the 2025 NFL Draft just days away, the Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing to make the most of their six selections. After trading away their second-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for star wide receiver DK Metcalf, the pressure is on to hit on their later-round choices—especially with key needs at running back and along the defensive line.
The Steelers are set to pick 21st overall in the first round. Interestingly, the last time they held that draft spot was in 1990, when they selected tight end Eric Green out of Liberty. Green went on to play a decade in the NFL, including five seasons with the Steelers, and finished his career with 362 receptions and 36 touchdowns over 120 games.
Here’s a look at Pittsburgh’s 2025 draft picks:
Round 1: No. 21 overall
Round 3: No. 83
Round 4: No. 123
Round 5: No. 156
Round 6: No. 185 (via Seattle through Chicago)
Round 7: No. 229 (via Atlanta through Philadelphia)
With no pick in the second round, each of these selections becomes crucial as the Steelers look to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
