NFL GMs Believe Steelers Are Picking QB
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers rumors surrounding their selection in the first round of the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft next week have continued to become more complex as the time until the draft narrows.
Tens of players have been named as possible candidates for the Steelers’ first round pick specifically, and the majority of them have fallen into a couple of positions. Whether quarterback, running back or defensive lineman, the Steelers will have plenty of players to choose from when it is their turn with the 21st overall selection.
According to NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, the Steelers are quite likely to select a quarterback in the first round this season. Jeremiah says he believes this due to other teams’ general managers who will be picking after the Steelers are unhappy that the Steelers will likely select a quarterback, leaving less on the board for them. On an appearance on The Ryen Russillo Podcast, Jeremiah walked through why he thought the Steelers would be a problem for other front offices.
“The GMs that you talk to during this time of year that are super bummed are the GMs that are picking after the Pittsburgh Steelers at the bottom of Round 1,” Jeremiah said. “Because the conversation is like, ‘Gosh, I’d love to get the heck out of here, but the teams that are coming back up for a quarterback have identified Pittsburgh as a potential landing spot for quarterbacks.
So, if I’m picking behind Pittsburgh, I’m screwed. Because if they want to trade back up for a quarterback, they gotta get to 20, and that’s Denver.”
If the Steelers go on to select a quarterback, they will have likely two to three options at the 21st overall selection. Jaxson Dart, Jalen Milroe and Tyler Shough are expected to be available, and there is a small chance Shedeur Sanders will drop there as well.

Some big changes are coming to Oakland for Pittsburgh Regional Transit riders, all of which include closures, construction, and the future of safety.
Riders who typically catch the bus on Fifth Avenue in Oakland should start preparing because starting Sunday, Pittsburgh Regional Transit says the bus lane on Fifth Avenue will be permanently retired.
It’s a part of their University Line project, designed to create a more reliable connection between Downtown, Uptown, and Oakland.
But without the Fifth Avenue bus lane, traffic is shifting.
“All of our bus operational movements are going to be moving over here to Forbes Avenue,” said Amy Silbermann, chief development officer with Pittsburgh Regional Transit.
For riders, this means big changes.
Seventeen outbound bus stops along Fifth Avenue will be eliminated, 9 bus routes will be rerouted, and all outbound buses will travel on Forbes with general traffic.
“Forbes Avenue is going to be more congested. We will have more buses than today,” Silbermann noted.
While the closure is permanent, the construction and renovation will be temporary, and part of a much bigger plan.
“Ultimately, that lane is going to turn into a two-way protected bicycle facility. All buses will remain on Forbes Avenue outbound for as long as we know,” Silbermann said.
This change will now leave Forbes as the main bus corridor.
“Ultimately, one lane on Forbes Avenue is going to become a bus-only lane. However, that’s not happening until later next year.”
In the meantime, PRT says it’s working with the city and Port Authority police to keep traffic moving. The entire project is expected to be completed by 2027.
“This is not about making buses rapid. This is about making buses move more reliably and continuously throughout the corridor,” Silbermann said. “Today, they get very bunched up because of the conditions. Once they get bunched up, they end up with big gaps in service, where you may wait a really long time and then get on a really overcrowded bus.”
PRT says they will have staff at select bus stops to help navigate through this transition.
