The 2025 NFL Draft is just two days away, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing to be on the clock.
The Steelers currently hold six picks across seven rounds, starting with the No. 21 pick of the first round Thursday night.
They also have picks in the third (No. 83), fourth (No. 123), fifth (No. 156), sixth (No. 185) and seventh (No. 229) rounds.
The Steelers traded their second round pick to Seattle to acquire wide receiver DK Metcalf earlier in the offseason.
General manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin are meeting with the media Tuesday morning to discuss the upcoming NFL Draft.

Mike Tomlin on why the Steelers have not traded back in the 1st round in a long time:
“We are always open (to discuss things), but because we do our due diligence, oftentimes there is somebody available that we are really excited about.”

Mike Tomlin on meeting QB prospect Shedeur Sanders:
"I've know his father for a long time. My first time meeting him… it was a normal pre-draft visit. To spend time with a young man to talk ball."

Omar Khan:
"We gave up a second(-round pick) for (WR DK Metcalf), and I am so excited we did that."

Mike Tomlin says "I haven't pondered those things" when asked if it was not ideal if no starting QB is on the roster when OTAs and minicamp starts.

Omar Khan immediately addresses the proverbial Aaron in the room and says: "I know you have questions about quarterbacks… I've said before we will have four QBs when we report to Latrobe. Right now we have two. All options are on the table when it comes to the last two."
