Player: DL Derrick Harmon
Stock Value: Purchased
Reasoning: With their first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Steelers selected DL Derrick Harmon. In most years, he wouldn’t be the fourth interior defensive lineman off the board—let’s put it that way. He should be an immediate starter, especially without much competition. In the long view, the Steelers view him as the eventual replacement for Cameron Heyward. Those are mighty big shoes to fill, but he has time to earn it.
The Steelers entered the 2025 NFL Draft with six picks and exited with seven players.
