As the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2025 season draws to a close with the mark of the New Year, there is still plenty of football to be played. The hope for playoff success looms, but every member of Steelers Nation holds fast with weighted breath. A lack of postseason success could indicate a shift in Pittsburgh’s future, a direction that may become evident during the 2026 NFL Draft this April.
There are quality players in the upcoming draft, with many within the Steelers organization holding onto hope for a top quarterback. That plan is becoming less likely to materialize, potentially opening the door to other positional priorities.
