The Pittsburgh Steelers wasted no time this off-season addressing their biggest weakness at wide receiver when they traded for Seattle Seahawks superstar wide receiver D.K. Metcalf. Although Sportsvival does not think they are done adding to the wideout position, they can now turn their attention to improving the defensive line in round one.
The 2025 draft class has plenty of talent at the defensive tackle position, led by Michigan stars Mason Graham and Kenneth Grant. Oregon’s Derrick Harmon and Ole Miss’ Walter Nolen are two other prospects who could hear their names in round one.
If the Steelers do not select a defensive tackle in round one, don’t worry, the positon has a ton of depth and one can be found in round three or later.
Sportsvival’s top 10 DT
Mason Graham- Michigan
Kenneth Grant- Michigan
Walter Nolen- Ole Miss
Derrick Harmon- Oregon
Tyleik Williams- Ohio State
Darius Alexander- Toledo
Deone Walker- Kentucky
Joshua Farmer- Florida State
Alfred Collins- Texas
Omarr Norman-Lott- Tennessee
Sportsvival thinks that there is a possibility that Kenneth Grant can drop to the No 21 spot and would be an excellent fit on the Steelers defensive line. He would allow Keeanu Benton to play on the outside and can free up our linebackers with his 6’3” and 339 lb frame.
