After making Penn State EDGE Abdul Carter the No. 3 overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the New York Giants traded back into the first round to select Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart 25th overall. Based on a behind-the-scenes look at draft night, the Giants at least entertained the idea of trading up with the Steelers at No. 21.
In the end, the Steelers weren’t moving off their pick, selecting Oregon DL Derrick Harmon. Had he been off the board, it’s fair to wonder if Pittsburgh would’ve looked to make an aggressive move down the board.
