Breaking Down The Steelers' Picks In A Big 7-round Mock Draft

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one game left in the regular season and they win it and are in the playoffs against the Baltimore Ravens. After last week’s humiliating loss to the lowly Cleveland Browns, we needed something to cheer us up a little, so we decided to think ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft with a full seven-round mock draft following the updated draft order. In this scenario, the Steelers are picking 20th overall in the first round and have a lot of needs on their roster.

First round – WR Denzel Boston – Washington

With the top quarterbacks off the board, we’re going for the last first-round wide receiver. Boston is a physical mismatch and while he lacks elite speed, he is a physical target who runs excellent routes and rarely drops passes.

Second round – G Emmanuel Pregnon – Oregon

We have to assume Isaac Seumalo won’t be the starter in 2026 and Pregnon is a mountain of a man with elite power.

Third round – QB Garrett Nussmeier – LSU

There was a time when Nussmeier was considered a first-round pick, so bringing him here is a low-risk, high-reward move.

Third Round – CB Julian Neal – Arkansas

Neal is a long, agile cornerback with great speed and instincts.

Third round – LB Jacob Rodríguez – Texas Tech

Linebacker isn’t a big need, but Rodriguez is too disruptive and productive to pass up here.

Fourth round – OT Brian Parker II – Duke

Great depth player with a lot of experience and starting potential.

Fourth round – S Genesis Smith – Arizona

Rangy and fast as a pure coverage safety who doesn’t offer much run support.

Fifth Round – WR Duce Robinson – Florida State

Huge target with too much physical potential to pass up at this point in the draft.

Fifth Round – DL DeMonte Capehart – Clemson

Textbook 3-4 inside/outside defensive lineman with the length to play for the Steelers.

Sixth Round – RB Adam Randall – Clemson

Randall is a huge, physical running back converted from wide receiver and offers a lot of versatility.

Round 6 – QB Taylen Green – Arkansas

We double up at quarterback with Green, who has too much raw athleticism and potential to jump him in the sixth round.

Round 7 – DL Gracen Halton – Oklahoma

He never played to his full potential, but he is a solid athlete and has some rotation value inside.
