  • How Does Omar Khan Prep for the Draft? | Steelers Morning Rush

    How Does Omar Khan Prep for the Draft? | Steelers Morning Rush
    Apr 23 2025
    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 how Omar Khan and the rest of the NFL general managers are preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft. The Steelers and other NFL teams don't use mock drafts in the traditional sense, and they build their own board when it comes to which players they want to draft. The Pittsburgh draft board is run by Andy Weidl, with inputs from all of the team's coaches and scouts, including Khan and Mike Tomlin. That board will determine who the Steelers will draft, based on who is available at the time. But there's another part of the process, that involves how to know whether a team should be trading up or back to get the player they really want, and that's a newer innovation as part of Khan's ascension to the general manager role. Alan breaks it down. # Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
