Welcome to the 2025 NFL Draft, Steelers’ Nation. After months of speculation, mock drafts, rumors, and reports, we start getting answers tonight. Held in Green Bay, the first round will take place Thursday, rounds two and three Friday, and the rest of the draft (including signing undrafted free agents) will take place throughout Saturday.
Our job is to make you the most prepared and informed Steelers fan this weekend. Our Steelers Depot team did an incredible job this year preparing hundreds of scouting reports and studying this year’s class every which way to get the best feel for what Pittsburgh will do over these next three days.
Below is a summary of the work we’ve done since January. The top draft information page to bookmark this weekend will have links to all the core draft information we’ve provided. If there’s any info missing that you’d like to see us add, drop it in the comments below.
Be sure to stick with us throughout draft weekend, when we’ll provide instant analysis and coverage of every Pittsburgh pick.
Mike Tomlin/Omar Khan Pro Day Visits: Here’s where the head coach and general manager attended in 2025. Since 2010, only one Steelers’ first-round pick hasn’t had either attend his Pro Day workout, though it came last season with Washington OT Troy Fautanu. Instead, he was brought in for a pre-draft visit.

Mock Draft Contest: Our annual Steelers’ mock draft contest, where three participants will walk away with a sense of superiority…and some money. Carefully read all the rules before entering, and good luck!
Scouting Reports: Our Steelers Depot set a new scouting report record. Crushed it, actually. We wrote 360 reports (!!) on the 2025 draft class, dozens more than our previous high. Everyone from No. 1 overall pick, QB Cam Ward, to D-III Middlebury and everything in between, this was our most successful season in terms of reports. I can’t thank the Depot team who wrote reports enough: Jonathan Heitritter, Josh Carney, Tom Mead, Ross McCorkle, Steven Pavelka, Efram Geller, Jim Hester, Nate Kosko, Jake Brockhoff, and me.
You can find each report below. I know some wish it were more sortable or in a specific order, but I just didn’t have time to do all the legwork this season. You can Ctrl + F on your page if you’d like to find a particular name. For each player the Steelers draft, we’ll quickly sticky their scouting report to the top of the website (the home page, not this article) so you don’t have to go hunting for it.
