NFL Draft has come to an end — which means it's the perfect time for a Steelers' way-too-early 2026 mock draft. Pittsburgh addressed its defensive concerns with this year’s haul, but several areas on offense still need attention heading into 2026.

In each of the last two years, the Steelers have used their first round pick on an offensive lineman, with Pittsburgh using both their first-round pick ( Troy Fautanu) and second round pick ( Zach Frazier) in 2024 on an OL. With RB Najee Harris also leaving via free agency, the Steelers could look to add another running back in the draft this year.

After the draft concluded in Green Bay on Sunday, Mark Murphy, the Packers' president and CEO, was joined by other Packers and Steelers representatives as the Packers handed the ball off to the Steelers, effectively starting the timer until Pittsburgh plays host to the NFL Draft in 2026.
