The Steelers' 2025 NFL Draft class was another fantastic haul by the organization's front office and scouting department — but there are still some top free agents who could turn Pittsburgh's roster from solid to dangerous on both sides of the ball.
Here are three free agents the Steelers should sign post-draft to upgrade or solve any remaining positional concerns.
Hilton was one of the former Steelers destined to reunite with Pittsburgh this offseason — but the stars simply didn't align. After the Steelers avoided selecting a CB until Round 7 of the 2025 NFL Draft, bringing in Hilton to compete with Brandin Echols and Beanie Bishop Jr. would make the Steelers' secondary even more dangerous this upcoming season.
Dan Moore Jr. left a huge depth-sized hole at the Steelers' offensive tackle position. Every time a starter went down due to injury or poor play, Moore was there — almost serving as a third starting OT as often as his number was called. Not only did Pittsburgh fail to address the depth in free agency, outside of activating Calvin Anderson off IR, but the Steelers also didn't draft any offensive tackles — which is why signing Jedrick Wills Jr. needs to happen. He never quite lived up to expectations in Cleveland, but he'll have a simpler role behind Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu.
Could you imagine four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers throwing passes to DK Metcalf, George Pickens, and Amari Cooper? Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson will get their time to shine if Pickens leaves in 2025 — but if Pittsburgh is truly in win-now mode, HC Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan would be wise to bring Cooper to the Steel City. What would the Steelers have to lose?
