The Steelers will target offense – but what position?
Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft is in the books. The drama started early as the Cleveland Browns traded out of the number two pick with the Jacksonville Jaguars, who selected Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter. As we head into rounds 2 and 3, there just so happens to be another Colorado Buffalo on the board – Hunter’s former QB Shedeur Sanders, who will continue to dominate the headlines leading into tonight.
Where will Sanders land? And what will the Steelers do with their 3rd round pick? Here are my best guesses.
Round 2
33. Cleveland Browns – Treyveon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
34. Houston Texans (via NYG) – Aireontae Ersery, OT, Minnesota
35. Tennessee Titans – Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State
36. Cleveland Browns (via JAX) – Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
37. Las Vegas Raiders – Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
38. New England Patriots – Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College
39. Chicago Bears (via CAR) – Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina
40. New Orleans Saints – Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado
41. Chicago Bears – Ozzy Trapilo, OT, Boston College
42. New York Jets – Mason Taylor, TE, LSU
43. San Francisco 49ers – Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss
44. Dallas Cowboys – Quinshon Judkins, RB, Ohio State
45. Indianapolis Colts – Jonah Savaiinaea, OT, Arizona
46. Los Angeles Rams (via ATL) – Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina
47. Arizona Cardinals – Mike Green, EDGE, Marshall
48. Miami Dolphins – Azareye’h Thomas, CB, Florida State
49. Cincinnati Bengals – Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame
50. Seattle Seahawks – Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M
51. Denver Broncos – Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State
52. Seattle Seahawks – Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama
53. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Benjamin Morrison, CB, Notre Dame
54. Green Bay Packers – Carson Schwesinger – LB, UCLA
55. Los Angeles Chargers – Alfred Collins, DT, Texas
56. Buffalo Bills – Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA
57. Carolina Panthers – Landon Jackson, EDGE, Arkansas
58. Houston Texans – Jaylen Royals, WR, Utah State
59. Baltimore Ravens – Tate Ratledge, OG, Georgia
60. Detroit Lions – Princely Umanmielen, EDGE, Ole Miss
61. Washington Commanders – J.T. Tuimoloau, EDGE, Ohio State
62. Buffalo Bills – Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo
63. Kansas City Chiefs – TJ Sanders, DT, South Carolina
64. Philadelphia Eagles – Wyatt Milum, OG, West Virginia
Round 3
65. New York Giants – Marcus Mbow, OT, Purdue
66. Kansas City Chiefs – Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa
67. Cleveland Browns – Tyler Shough, QB, Louisville
68. Las Vegas Raiders – Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss
69. New England Patriots – Jack Bech, WR, TCU
70. Jacksonville Jaguars – Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami
71. New Orleans Saints – Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
72. Chicago Bears – DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State
73. New York Jets – Shemar Turner, DT, Texas A&M
74. Carolina Panthers – Andrew Mukuba, S, Texas
75. San Francisco 49ers – Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee
76. Dallas Cowboys – Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford
77. New England Patriots – Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Bowling Green
78. Arizona Cardinals – Tory Horton, WR, Colorado State
79. Houston Texans, Jared Wilson, C, Georgia
80. Indianapolis Colts – Barrett Carter, LB, Clemson
81. Cincinnati Bengals – CJ West, DT, Indiana
82. Seattle Seahawks – Terrence Ferguson, TE, Oregon
83. Pittsburgh Steelers – Will Howard, QB, Ohio State
After passing on a signal-caller in round 1, the Steelers add to their room with the reigning National Championship-winning quarterback. Howard has the size and mobility the black and gold will covet – and I’ve heard the interest is very real. This could also be a running back, but it’s a deep class. I’d anticipate Virginia Tech RB Bhayshul Tuten, UCF RB RJ Harvey, and Texas RB Jaydon Blue will be in the conversation, but my best bet is one will fall into their laps in round 4.
84. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Jordan Burch, EDGE, Oregon
85. Denver Broncos – Cam Skattebo, RB, Arizona State
86. Los Angeles Chargers – Gunnar Helm, TE, Texas
87. Green Bay Packers – Bradyn Swinson, EDGE, LSU
88. Jacksonville Jaguars – Deone Walker, DT, Kentucky
89. Houston Texans – JJ Pegues, DT, Ole Miss
90. Los Angeles Rams – Ashton Gillotte, EDGE, Louisville
91. Baltimore Ravens – Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
92. Seattle Seahawks – Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State
93. New Orleans Saints – Kyle Kennard, EDGE, South Carolina
94. Cleveland Browns – Emery Jones, OT, LSU
95. Kansas City Chiefs – Miles Frazier, OG, LSU
96. Philadelphia Eagles – Joshua Farmer, DT, Florida State
97. Minnesota Vikings – Kevin Winston Jr., S, Penn State
98. Miami Dolphins – Cameron Williams, OT, Texas
99. Houston Texans – Elijah Roberts, DT, SMU
100. San Francisco 49ers – Savion Williams, WR, TCU
101. Atlanta Falcons – Lathan Ransom, S, Ohio State
102. Detroit Lions – Dylan Fairchild, OG, Georgia
