AI makes the picks in latest Steelers three-round mock draft
We let AI make the picks in this new Steelers three-round mock draft and it wasn't as bad as we expected.
The 2026 NFL Draft is only three weeks away and you can't swing a Lombardi Trophy without hitting a mock draft. So we decided to see what AI can do. We asked Google's Gemini AI to give us a three-round Pittsburgh Steelers mock draft and include commentary on the picks.
And to be honest, after asking AI to create a seven-round mock for the Steelers and having it draft running back Kaleb Johnson in the third round when he was already on the team, expectations were low. 1 21 Peter Woods DL Clemson The "successor to Cam Heyward" pick. Woods is a versatile, high-ceiling interior defender who can slide across the line.
At 300+ lbs with elite twitch, he anchors the future of the defensive front. 2 53 Chris Brazzell II WR Tennessee Despite adding Pittman Jr. , the Steelers need a vertical threat to replace the departing depth.
Brazzell is a massive target (6'5") who provides a different dimension to the Metcalf/Pittman duo. 3 76 Garrett Nussmeier QB LSU (via DAL) With Rodgers nearing the end and the Mike McCarthy connection to the Nussmeier family, this is the perfect "Plan B. " He has the arm talent to sit and learn for a year before taking the reins.
