If the 2025 NFL draft were today, there’s no doubt the Pittsburgh Steelers would be tempted to target a wide receiver in the first round. Pittsburgh has tried and failed to land a receiver so far this offseason so it only makes sense if nothing happens there will be action at wide receiver in the offseason.
ESPN’s Jordan Reid has a new mock draft out and he took that same approach and gave the Steelers one of our favorite prospects in the entire draft in Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond. Here’s what Reid had to say about the pick:
The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves at 4-2 and atop the AFC North despite some real problems on the roster. Looking ahead to the end of the season, there are going to be multiple spots
No matter who is under center, Pittsburgh has to find more playmaking beyond George Pickens. The speedy and dynamic Bond has flashed this season after transferring from Alabama. He’s not only capable of winning downfield, but he can also turn underneath plays into big gains. He forces defenses to respect his vertical speed and has four scores this season.
There are several elite receivers in this upcoming draft but Bond is the guy we like the most for the Steelers as a guy who can do a little of everything.
