“When you start the process, you hope that it’s going to work out perfectly for you, the way you want it, (sometimes) it just doesn’t happen,” Khan said. “You know, there’s a lot of variables that cause you to have to adjust. And you have to be flexible, and you have to be light on your feet. And that’s sort of how that process goes.
“You know, you’d love to get X, Y and Z, and sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t. And you know, the way it worked out this year, it really worked good for us. When we had the opportunity to trade for DK, we were all in on that. We felt it was important, just excited to have him here. It just, just sort of happens that way.”
The draft was a continuation of that.
The Steelers not only get this incoming rookie class in 2025, they also will see four of their 2024 draft picks – offensive tackle Troy Fautanu, wide receiver Roman Wilson, defensive lineman Logan Lee and safety Ryan Watts – added to the equation, as well. All four missed all or most of their rookie seasons with injuries.
That group is almost like having four additional picks in this draft, one the Steelers feel helps set them up well for 2025.
“I can’t say enough about how the draft went for us,” Khan said. “(I) really feel like we’re a better football team today than we were before the draft started on Thursday. We filled several needs. The term that was used a couple days ago was Steelers DNA. And I think when you get to know these guys, you’ll realize that these guys have Steelers DNA. I’m excited. I can’t say enough, and I just want to send a quick shout out to everybody that was involved, from our scouts, our coaches and the support staff here, because there’s a lot goes into this, and things went really well for us this weekend, and that’s a credit to them, and everything they do for us.”
