The 2025 NFL Draft is approaching, and the Carolina Panthers are considering trading back from the 8th pick, prompting speculation on whether the Pittsburgh Steelers should pursue a trade. Insider Gerry Dulac dismissed the idea of trading up for Shedeur Sanders but highlighted three potential prospects with significant NFL talent that could be worth pursuing.
Ashton Jeanty stands out as a standout running back in this year's draft class, offering the Steelers a new dynamic in their rushing attack following Najee Harris' departure. His abilities as both a rusher and receiver could greatly impact the Steelers' offense in 2025. Additionally, McMillan, despite controversy over his film-watching habits, is viewed as a top wide receiver prospect who could provide immediate contributions to the Steelers' offense.
In the scenario that Campbell falls out of the top five picks, the Steelers could benefit from trading up for the highly skilled offensive lineman. With uncertainties surrounding Broderick Jones, Campbell's arrival could bolster the team's offensive line. Considering these prospects' potential impact, the Steelers may find value in pursuing a trade with the Panthers for the 8th pick in the draft.
