We are through two days of the 2025 NFL draft and the Pittsburgh Steelers have added two players in total, but neither one addressed the team's biggest need.

That need comes at the quarterback position. The Steelers have now had two cracks at Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but they opted to take Oregon defensive lineman Derrick Harmon and Ohio State running back Kaleb Johnson instead.

That was at least somewhat surprising considering the Steelers don't have a sure starter under center and are continuing to wait on a soon-to-be 42-year-old quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, who may only give them one season.

Going into Day 3, the Steelers are considered favorites to end Sanders' epic draft slide, which has gone on two rounds longer than anyone expected. The Steelers may get their third shot at Sanders when they're on the clock with the No. 123 overall selection, which is their first on Day 3.

Here's a look at the selections the Steelers have left.

Steelers NFL draft picks on Day 3

The Steelers will have a total of four picks on Saturday. The sixth-rounder comes from the DK Metcalf trade, while the seventh-rounder was acquired in the Kenny Pickett deal with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024.
