The Steelers’ offseason starts with determining what to do at quarterback. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are free agents, and neither was able to elevate Pittsburgh to a true contender level last season. The Steelers could choose to bring one (or both) of them back or attack the free-agent pool, but picking 21st overall means the 2025 NFL Draft is not a feasible option for finding a Day 1 starter. The draft could provide the team with talented offensive playmakers, though. Pittsburgh will also need a plan for its departing running backs, likely leading them to draft one. The team's wide receiver group was very underwhelming in 2024, so expect the franchise to spend its customary second-round pick on upgrading the position. The secondary could also use upgrades, and the trenches need another infusion of depth. In this mock draft, the Steelers address all of these needs and more.
