Steelers set to gamble on QB Jaxson Dart in NFL Draft

The Pittsburgh Steelers face a quarterback dilemma ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft due to the uncertainty surrounding Aaron Rodgers. In a recent mock draft by CBS Sports’ Jared Dubin, it is predicted that the Steelers will select Ole Miss QB prospect Jaxson Dart with the 21st overall pick. Dubin argues that Dart, with his superior physical attributes, may offer a higher upside compared to the previous quarterback choice, Kenny Pickett.

However, the decision to potentially draft another quarterback reminiscent of the Pickett selection raises questions about the Steelers' draft priorities. Some suggest that rather than focusing on a QB, addressing the team's defensive line concerns or finding a replacement for George Pickens might be more beneficial uses of the premium draft pick. The uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position calls into question the team's strategy as they approach the draft.
