Pittsburgh Steelers will draft a quarterback early, NFL executive says
An NFL executive believes the Pittsburgh Steelers will be players for a quarterback early in the 2025 NFL Draft. In an article run by ESPN where personnel inside the NFL predicts the next moves of teams, one NFL scouting director says that he believes the Steelers will draft a quarterback early because they simply need an answer there.
“I still think this could go either way,” the scouting director said. “Part of me feels like they bring back Russell Wilson. Either way, I expect them to draft a quarterback fairly high. They need someone who can be the answer long term.”
The further it goes, the more likely it seems the Steelers will bring Justin fields back. This is not a talented quarterback draft, but the Steelers could take someone in the middle rounds of the class. If Fields is back, the team will still need someone as the backup, and a young quarterback might be the player the Steelers would like to draft at some point in the class.
Either way, expect another significant reshaping of the quarterback room this offseason, whether it is Fields, Russell Wilson, or someone else.

50 Leaders Give Their Rx for Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor, Pt. VII – Pittsburgh Quarterly
Mark Opitz, Managing Partner, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh stands at a promising moment of civic reinvention, with an opportunity to build on its leadership in AI, robotics, and advanced innovation to create a more vibrant urban future. A key priority for the mayor could be strengthening confidence in Downtown by continuing its evolution from a 9-to-5 employment center into a mixed-use neighborhood that attracts workers, residents, students, and visitors throughout the entire week.
To advance that vision, the mayor should give consideration to public safety, cleanliness, and mobility, along with creative reuse of underutilized office space for housing, emerging companies, and cultural activity. Equally important is sending a clear, consistent signal that Pittsburgh welcomes investment and partnership. Regulatory predictability, efficient approvals, and strong collaboration among the city, employers, institutions, and neighboring communities can help align development with market realities. By pairing economic ambition with quality of life, the city’s leadership can position Downtown — and the city — as confident, innovative, and open for growth.
One of Pittsburgh’s biggest goals before hosting the NFL Draft was to modernize Market Square. It is just one of the spaces in the downtown area that is being transformed for the massive event.
