In a month, On March 4, the legal tampering period will start in the NFL when teams can begin negotiations with potential free agents. Official free agency begins on March 12 and this will be a flurry of activity set in motion from the week before.
Once the dust settles on that first wave of free agency, all attention will turn to the 2025 NFL draft. The Steelers currently hold eight picks in the draft, according to Tankathon. Here is how the eight picks break down.
First round – Pick No. 21
Second round – Pick No. 52
Third round – Pick No. 83
Fourth round – Pick No. 122
Fifth round – Pick No. 163
Seventh round – Pick No. 225
Seventh round – Pick No. 231
Seventh round – Pick No. 247
With three seventh-round picks, we could see the Steelers using a pair of those to move up in the middle rounds if they target a specific player. The Steelers have very clear NFL draft needs including wide receiver, cornerback and defensive tackle along with running back and quarterback.
The 2025 NFL draft is scheduled for April 24-26.
