On this episode of Steelers Central, I finally released my official 2025 mock draft, which includes trading down nine spots in the first round and still getting a top-end defensive line prospect. The team also addresses all its needs of RB and WR, as well as getting a sleeper QB out of the ACC in the fourth round. Overall, it turns out to be a solid draft class for the Steelers, addressing needs on both sides of the ball.Now, the team needs to figure out the internal issues of getting a TJ Watt deal done along with figuring out the QB situation, two things the teams have been reactive instead of proactive. Why waiting on these two situations will now cost the team money and lingering uncertainty in an already testy locker room.Lastly, we will look at two prospects that I mocked to the Steelers in the draft, including a QB who set the school record for passing yards in the ACC in his only season at the program. He is a pure pocket passer who specializes in timing and anticipation, but there are worries about his arm strength and limited athleticism. The other prospect was a four-year starter at a Big Ten school from which the Steelers love to pick their defensive line. This time, they will go to the offensive trenches to choose a tackle with experience, a nimble lower body, and great size. However, to be a complete player, the tackle will need to put on more weight and work on hand and footwork.0:00-21:00 2025 NFL Mock Draft21:01-31:35 Proactive, not Reactive31:36-40:25 QB Kyle McCord Syracuse40:26-48:38 OT Jack Nelson Wisconsin
