2025 NFL mock draft from ESPN has Jaxon Dart going to a QB-starved team

[ASFN Admin]

We're only days away from the 2025 NFL Draft, and the quarterback buzz beyond Miami's Cam Ward points to Shedeur Sanders moving out of the top-five.

But what about Jaxson Dart, the Ole Miss QB who has moved into the first round in a lot of mock drafts?

In our latest mock draft from Christian D'Andrea, he goes off the board at No. 32 with the Giants trading to get him. But in the latest mock from ESPN's Jordan Reid, he's off the board at No. 21 to .. the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Why's that? Here's his take on the Steelers making that move while awaiting Aaron Rodgers to figure things out:

The Aaron Rodgers waiting game shouldn't keep the Steelers from drafting a QB here. With receivers DK Metcalf and George Pickens, Pittsburgh should pursue a young QB who can consistently deliver the ball downfield. Dart's 80 completions on throws of 20-plus yards were the second most in the FBS over the past three seasons. Learning behind Rodgers would be the ideal outcome for Dart, since he needs time to transition to the NFL from Lane Kiffin's QB-friendly system.

Interesting! Make sure to check out the latest mock from D'Andrea, along with a live mock from around the USA TODAY Network. There's also our list of every team's biggest needs.
