Steelers 7-round mock draft: Could Pittsburgh land Garrett Nussmeier?

The Pittsburgh Steelers will enter the 2026 NFL Draft with some significant questions, but they will have plenty of opportunities to answer them. The Steelers are set to have a league-high 12 selections in this year's draft. That will include five top-100 selections, a number buoyed by the team's three third-round picks.

Pittsburgh's bevy of draft assets will allow it not only to plug its major holes along the offensive line and at receiver, but also to add some young talent to serve as eventual successors to its veteran defensive talents. Of course, the team will also consider drafting a quarterback. The expectation remains that Aaron Rodgers will return for one more season, but if he doesn't re-sign, adding a top signal-caller to challenge Will Howard for the starting job will quickly become the team's top priority.
