2025 NFL Draft Weekend: Steelers Friday Five Questions

Happy Friday, and I hope yinz are doing well.

The 2025 NFL Draft got underway last night, and in the first round, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Oregon DL Derrick Harmon 21st overall. Bypassing quarterback options, the team stayed true to an offseason goal of improving its run defense and getting younger up front.

In a post-pick press conference, Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan said Harmon had Steelers “DNA” as a prototypical fit at defensive end. Check out our full scouting report on him here.

Passing on Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders has caused mixed reactions from the media and fan base.
