2025 Steelers Season Thread

Following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Steelers agreed to terms with seven undrafted rookie free agents.

The full list is below:

• Sebastian Castro, safety, Iowa
  
• J.J. Galbreath, tight end, South Dakota
  
• Ben Sauls, kicker, Pittsburgh
  
• Roc Taylor, wide receiver, Memphis
  
• DJ Thomas-Jones, fullback, South Alabama
  
• Aiden Williams, offensive guard, Minnesota-Duluth
  
• Ke'Shawn Williams, wide receiver, Indiana

Well, it’s time for a grade. I’m giving them a B. When you’re picking 21 it’s hard to get the top studs. So I think they did pretty good. It appears they had a plan to get bigger and more physical on the DL, they got two huge guys. Needed a RB, got a good one, didn’t reach for a QB, but got a good guy. Sawyer is the steal here. I think he’s going to be really good. Time will tell.

And let’s not forget DK Metcalf is their second round pick. I’ll take that 10 times out of ten. A proven commodity. Originally Posted by bambino

I'm still curious as to the plan for Pickens though.

Ryan Watts is out, for his own health

Sounds like Pickens is getting traded to Dallas for a 3rd round pick. Waiting to see if it happens

Good riddance. His act will play better in Dallas.

Wait until the first time he throws a tantrum because Lamb is getting more balls than he is. Also, at least Tomlin has dealt with headcases like Pickens before so he was probably able to keep him under wraps a little bit. Dallas has a first year head coach.

I'm grabbing my popcorn...

Hopefully Roman Wilson can show something this year.

I'm ok with a down year if it happens. The Steelers currently have 8 picks next year and could have up to 12 with compensatory picks, 5 being in the first 3 rounds.

So, is anyone feeling Tomlin can turn t his team around?

I know someone that doesn't. Does that count?

I think I’m missing someone but not a good trend. Are they not looking at their character prior to draft or is Tomlin an enabler? I think both.

Martavus Bryant. Might have been the most talented.

... At lease we won't have to listen to Pickens' cryin'
all the time about not being thrown to. ...

... Surely would seem that our side is due for a
rebuilding year... And will have a great number of
drafting picks this time next year.

This season-meet has all the advance bells and whistles
of going nowhere... While the Pickens trade will then
make it easier to trade TJ Watt or let him walk.

But he’s pretty funny on X. His Cracker of the Year award show was hilarious. Plus, he’s a big Trump supporter. Leveon Bell too!
