Steelers' way-too-early three-round 2026 mock draft

[ASFN Admin]

The 2025 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 this three-round, way-too-early projection, PFF predicts the Steelers will hold the No. 14 overall pick — just out of reach for Texas Longhorn Arch Manning. Fortunately, the 2026 NFL Draft class is loaded with offensive firepower, and Pittsburgh wastes no time making a splash in the first three rounds:

Round 1: Pick No. 14 — QB Drew Allar, Penn State​

While a Steel City contingency seems to be growing behind 2025 sixth-rounder Will Howard, it has long been rumored that 2026 would be the year the Steelers target their franchise signal-caller — in an insanely stacked QB class. Manning and Clemson’s Cade Klubnik went off the board in a hurry, but the 6'5" Penn State QB Drew Allar — complete with impressive arm strength, poise, and ball security — was available for Pittsburgh.

Round 2: Pick No. 46 — WR Antonio Williams, Clemson​

All signs continue to point toward George Pickens leaving the Steelers in 2025 — and Clemson WR Antonio Williams may be just the player to replace him. Williams had a fantastic high school career and translated it well into earning Freshman All-American honors. Injuries ultimately derailed his sophomore season, but he’s primed for a major bounce-back as a junior. His body control, ability to line up at any receiver position, and sharp route running are too much to pass up in Round 2.

Round 3: Pick No. 78 — OT Blake Miller, Clemson​

This pick entirely hinges on whether or not Broderick Jones can finally put all the pieces together in 2025. After struggling to live up to his first-round draft status at RT, the Steelers are hopeful he’ll find success at his natural LT position — but if he doesn’t, Clemson Tiger Blake Miller is just the man for the job. He proved himself both durable and competitive during his freshman season — one in which he earned 14 starts, an impressive feat for any young offensive tackle. He’s exactly what the Steelers would need to replace Jones in the short term.
