Carney: Grading The Steelers’ Draft Class At Midseason

When the Pittsburgh Steelers came out of the 2025 NFL Draft under GM Omar Khan, there was a lot of excitement about their haul across all seven rounds.

Midway through the 2025 season, that draft class for the Steelers looks pretty darn good. Outside of quarterback Will Howard and cornerback Donte Kent, the entire draft class is playing a role and contributing for the Black and Gold. Some way more than others, obviously, but Pittsburgh seems to have hit nicely on most of the draft class to this point.

First-rounder Derrick Harmon is a key starter defensively, while seventh-round linebacker Carson Bruener is a standout special teams piece under coordinator Danny Smith.
