Steelers Consider Trading No. 21 Pick Amid Draft Rumors

As the NFL Draft approaches, the Pittsburgh Steelers are weighing multiple options for their first-round pick at No. 21, including trading back to acquire more draft capital—a move they haven't made since 2001. The team is considering selecting a defensive lineman such as Oregon's Derrick Harmon, despite some league-wide medical concerns, or Michigan's Kenneth Grant, both of whom are highly rated internally. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders is also under consideration, with mixed reports about his interview performance, though the Steelers reportedly had a positive experience with him. Additionally, the Steelers have shown strong interest in Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison, who held a private workout to demonstrate his recovery from injury. General Manager Omar Khan has confirmed that while moving back is an option, the team will not trade away from players they have firmly targeted. The Steelers are also fielding inquiries about wide receiver George Pickens, though they are not actively shopping him.
