It's been a busy 24 hours if you've been paying attention to the Steelers list of potential QBs for 2025. Once again fans were left in waiting after Aaron Rodgers didn't make an appearance or an announcement at Pat McAfee's Big Night Aht. Meanwhile Shedeur Sanders is making his official visit to the Steelers today, could he really be the pick at 21 if he's still available.

Pat Freiermuth is emerging as a top-ten tight end in the league and Darnell Washington is fitting in as the TE2 nicely, but could they be even more effective if Arthur Smith transitions from a run-first to a pass-first offense in 2025.

Cam Heyward, TJ Watt, and Minkah Fitzpatrick are still the big three on the Steelers defense but since all three have come together in 2019 does it feel like the defense could have done more in that time.

The endless debate of drafting a quarterback in 2025 or waiting until 2026 continues. The Steelers should recognize how important the defensive line and running back positions are for the overall team's success and should use high draft capital on those positions this year.

How beneficial would it be for the Steelers to trade back out of the first round to gain back the second-round draft pick that was lost in the DK Metcalf move. The Steelers have loaded up on the O-line in recent years through the draft, which doesn't mean they should ignore the position this year.
