The Pittsburgh Steelers have navigated the early stages of the 2025 NFL Draft effectively, selecting high-level starters to address critical needs. With a focus on building a competitive roster, their fourth-round pick is quarterback Quinn Ewers from Texas, capitalizing on his potential as a developmental option after Shedeur Sanders was taken just before their selection. In the fifth round, they aim to bolster their secondary with cornerback Zy Alexander from LSU, known for his zone coverage skills. The sixth round brings offensive tackle Jalen Travis from Iowa State, a player with impressive physical attributes that suggest he has starter potential. Finally, in the seventh round, the Steelers add speed to their offense by selecting wide receiver Dont'e Thornton from Tennessee, further enhancing their attacking options.
