Could Steelers Trade Up for QB in 2025? | Steelers Morning Rush

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s whether the team could or would trade up for a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft.
We’re talked a lot about general manager Omar Khan hoarding compensatory draft picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and with that selection taking place in Pittsburgh, and a strong class of quarterbacks expected, trading up then is a very attractive option for the Steelers.
But what about using those comp picks to move up in the 2025 NFL Draft for a player like Shedeur Sanders? While possible, that idea comes with some pitfalls. Alan breaks it down.
