A rough estimate of when to tune in.
The 2025 NFL Draft order is set, with the Pittsburgh Steelers set to pick 21st overall following yet another winning season (10-7) under Head Coach Mike Tomlin.
Approaching draft day, the Steelers are favored on FanDuel Sportsbook to select a defensive lineman or edge rusher with their first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft at +180 odds, followed by quarterback at +230, running back (+600), offensive line (+650), cornerback (+650) and wide receiver (+1300).
Along the defensive line, Kenneth Grant (Micigan) and Derrick Harmon (Oregon) and Walter Nolen (Ole Miss) have been popular selections. Meanwhile, at quarterback, Shedeur Sanders has been projected to fall, with uber-athlete Jalen Milroe another popular option, should the Steelers decide to trade back.
What time will the Steelers pick in the 2024 NFL Draft?
Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft starts at 8 p.m. ET, with each team allotted 10 minutes per pick. That means, from start to finish, the first round could presumably last as long as 320 minutes, or just over five hours and 20 minutes, should each team take up their full allotment of time.
Here’s a look at the documented timestamps of the last five No. 21 overall pick announcements on Twitter/X from various resources, including NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, B/R Gridiron and others. Here’s what we found:
- 2020: Eagles select WR Jalen Reagor (TCU) — 10:47 p.m. ET
- 2021: Colts select DE Kwity Paye (Michigan) — 10:53 p.m. ET
- 2022: Chiefs select CB Trent McDuffie (Washington) — 10:29 p.m. ET
- 2023: Chargers select Quentin Johnston (TCU) — 10:38 p.m. ET
- 2024: Dolphins select LB Chop Robinson (Penn State) — 10:41 p.m. ET
Taking the average of those times, we have the Steelers making their selection somewhere in the neighborhood of 10:41 p.m. ET. However, you can’t rule out a potential trade (up or down).
