Currently no 2nd round pick.

First round is still BPA. I do not believe that will be a WR, QB, RB, or TE and I doubt it will be OL.

That narrows it down pretty much to DL or DB.

I hope that is the case. Could still be a running back depending on what happens during the rest of free agency. But I am hoping they continue to build in the trenches.

I will go into this now expecting a trade back in rd 1 unless their guy is there and I believe that is Nolan or Grant ... if they are gone or both there expect them to trade back a bit to try and get an extra pick

Drafting a mock after trading away their second round pick for Metcalf.

21: R1 P21 DL Kenneth Grant - Michigan

83: R3 P19 QB Tyler Shough - Louisville

123: R4 P21 CB Zy Alexander - LSU

162: R5 P24 RB Raheim Sanders - South Carolina

185: R6 P9 CB Jason Marshall Jr - Florida

239: R7 P23 DL Zeek Biggers - Georgia Tech


Drafting heavy DL with big bodies and cover corners while still getting a developmental QB and a stud running back.

It would be a perfect time to trade back into the second. I don't want to pass up a great player but pick up an extra pick for next year so we can move up.

as it stands right now we should be looking at 5 comp picks in 2026 and since they are tradable now that will aid moving up ....

Per http://OvertheCap.com, the Steelers are currently in line to receive 3rd, 4th, 5th and two 6th round compensatory picks for their FA losses.

I read today the Giants may not go QB at 3 overall. That they may take Carter and then trade back into the first to take aQB. I went and looked at the value chart. The Steelers 1st and 5th would return is the Giants 2nd and 3rd.

Interesting.

Pick 21: Jahdae Barron CB, Texas. I doubt he will fall to us at 21 but he did in this mock so I drafted him. Elite Slot Zone CB with reliable coverage and tackling skills.

Pick 83: Will Howard QB, OSU. I've been locked in on Howard for a long while now. He's not perfect and needs to develop cleaner mechanics, which he can learn behind Mason Rudolph this season.

Pick 123: Joshua Farmer DT, FSU. 3T DL in the mold of what the Steelers seem to prioritize. Elite first step speed and quickness makes him a rotational pass rusher immediately.

Pick 156: Danny Stutsman ILB, Oklahoma. Downhill off-ball LB that is a hard tackler. Exceptional vs the run and as a blitzer. ST ace for all coverage units. Likely eventual replacement for Matakevich and Robinson.

Pick 185: Phil Mafah RB, Clemson. 6'-230 zone RB. The Steelers brought him in for a visit. Short yardage and early downs specialist.

Pick 229: LaJohntay Wester WR, Colorado. Slot receiver/punt returner for when/if CA3 leaves after next season. Exceptionally speedy and quick with elite change of direction and stop-start ability.

156. Danny Stutsman ILB, Oklahoma

Would you trade all the draft picks away to get the #1 spot and pick Ricky Sanders?

Can Scourton play OLB in the NFL at 280+lbs? I am not knocking your pick. It's a good selection, but 280 is a lot to move around for an OLB.

I don't know that answer. Maybe he's more of a pass rushing DE? Maybe he's more of a joker you move around the front 3/4 and find favorable matchups?

At this point, I'm just trying out different combos at positions with different players. 6 picks, one of them will likely be QB, looking at adding 5 quality guys starting at pick 83. It's not an easy task.
