Reasoning: The selection of Yahya Black in the fifth round gave the Steelers two defensive linemen in the 2025 NFL Draft. While there is intrigue about what the new faces can bring, Black must earn a roster spot first. They have numbers in that room, and he will have to fight for reps in training camp. One imagines, though, that they wouldn’t have drafted him without expecting him to have a good chance.
Since promoting Omar Khan to general manager, the Steelers have yet to release a draft pick due to performance.
