The Pittsburgh Steelers had one of the most talented quarterback rooms in the NFL last season with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
Now, both quarterbacks have left the organization. Wilson signed a deal with the New York Giants while Fields took his talents to the New York Jets.
With the Steelers quarterback room having a major question mark heading into the 2025 season, a recent mock draft had the AFC franchise selecting a QB in the first round.
Charles Davis at NFL.com predicts the Steelers will draft Ole Miss Rebels prospect Jaxson Dart with the No. 21 overall pick.
Dart would be joining a quarterback room with newly signed Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson.

Wilson moved on to the Giants after posting 16 touchdowns and 2,482 yards with a 63.7 completion percentage for the Steelers last season.
He led Pittsburgh to a 10-8 record, including a playoff appearance.
While the Steelers found success with Wilson, the addition of Dart would add long-term value to Pittsburgh's quarterback room.
Dart is entering the 2025 NFL Draft after spending three years at Ole Miss and one year with the USC Trojans.
During his final season with the Rebels, Dart recorded 29 touchdowns and 4,279 yards, completing 69.3% of his pass attempts.
He finished his college career with 81 touchdowns and 11,970 yards while posting a 65.2 completion percentage.
