With the 2025 NFL Draft just weeks away, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft plans remain uncertain. Despite trading for WR DK Metcalf earlier this offseason, CBS Sports’ Josh Edwards still has them selecting WR Luther Burden III in the first round.
“I would not be surprised if George Pickens were moved at some point before the season,” Edwards wrote. “Pittsburgh acquired DK Metcalf and the skill sets overlap. Plus, Aaron Rodgers and Pickens would be an unstable mixture. Luther Burden III is a better match for the Steelers offense.”
Edwards’ reasoning for drafting Burden is that he believes Pickens won’t be with the Steelers come Week One.
