2025 NFL Mock Draft: Two-Rounds of picks before the Scouting Combine
Right now, the film is speaking for many players, but the combine will affect stocks for better or worse, so this can be an organic exercise for now.
The Eagles showed everyone what an effective defense can do to a lethal offense. Several teams at the top who need quarterbacks may not get them, while others simply don't like this class. Never has doing a mock draft been harder but that is the fun in it.
We will do our best in our latest mock draft on Bucs Wire.

Early Madden 26 beta ratings revealed — Steelers rank just outside top 10
Select gamers are getting their hands on the Madden 26 closed beta, and the Steelers rank near the top of the NFL team ratings. It's worth noting these leaks are not official, confirmed, or affiliated with EA Sports — and because Madden 26 is still in closed beta, all ratings are subject to change. Advertisement Despite a disheartening finish last season, top-tier free agent acquisitions and trades have the Steelers' 2025 Madden 26 beta rating at an impressive 86 overall — ranked 11th, just one point behind the Super Bowl LIX champion Eagles. Here is the beta ratings list in it's entirety, courtesy of MLFootball: These early ratings definitely miss the mark on certain teams, but the AFC North is definitely well respected — even if the Steelers finish last in the division. As Madden 26 player ratings continue to roll out, SteelersWire will keep you updated — and for full coverage, follow us on X @TheSteelersWire and give our Facebook page a like.

Steelers should sign this All-Pro safety after trading Minkah Fitzpatrick
Following the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade, there is now a safety-sized hole in the Steelers' secondary — but signing a four-time All-Pro may be the perfect solution. Former Falcons FS Justin Simmons — best known for his elite play as a Denver Bronco — is exactly what the Steelers need: an inexpensive veteran with a proven resume. Advertisement Similar to Fitzpatrick, Simmons had a down year last season — but his regression could easily be blamed on playing in the unfamiliar Atlanta setting. It wasn't just Simmons either, as the Falcons' defense did him no favors, ranking as the NFL's 10th-worst unit in total yards allowed in 2024. Simmons is still drawing interest from NFL teams, as Panthers insider Joe Person confirmed two weeks ago that Carolina was in contact with the safety's representatives, but nothing ever came of it. A revamped Steelers secondary featuring Simmons, DeShon Elliott, Darius Slay Jr., Joey Porter Jr., and Jalen Ramsey feels like something straight out of Madden — a super squad of defensive backs — but it's entirely possible, and the Steelers should move fast to make it happen.

Insider reveals how Steelers plan to replace Minkah Fitzpatrick post-Jalen Ramsey trade
Trading away Minkah Fitzpatrick left a void in the Steelers secondary — one that insider Gerry Dulac believes Pittsburgh has already filled. Hours after the blockbuster trade, Dulac took to social media to reveal how the Steelers will fill the vacancy left by Fitzpatrick's departure — and CB Jalen Ramsey's versatility will play a huge role: Advertisement "How will Steelers replace Minkah? Their new defensive plan will include Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, and Joey Porter Jr. on the field all the time, with few exceptions, per sources." Predicting how the Steelers will use their trio of talented DBs 'all the time' seems simple on paper. If opposing offenses are running a three-receiver set, Ramsey will slide into the slot, while Slay and Porter play outside. If offenses roll out a heavy package, Slay and Porter will stay outside, while Ramsey will move up to free safety. Trading away Fitzpatrick shocked the Steel City faithful, but whether the Steelers can replace him with their in-house strategy — or with a veteran free agent — remains to be seen.
