What would it cost the Steelers to trade up for OT Spencer Fano?
The Pittsburgh Steelers had OT Spencer Fano in for a pre-draft visit and we look at how they could trade up for him.
To everyone's surprise, the Pittsburgh Steelers had former Utah offensive tackle Spencer Fano in for a Top 30 visit ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Fano represents the highest-rated prospect the Steelers have had in so far this draft cycle and with five visits left to go, might be the highest one overall. This got us thinking about what it would cost to trade up for Fano and where the Steelers would have to trade up to if they wanted to land him.
Here are three scenarios. To determine these three potential trade partners, we ran more than a dozen first-round simulations. There were three teams in this area who were drafting offensive tackles, with all three of them taking Fano at some point or another.
No. 11 - Miami Dolphins Going up to 11 would cost the Steelers their first-round pick in 2026, third-round pick in 2026 (No. 76) and second-round pick in 2027.
A pretty hefty price to go up a full 10 spots but Fano could start at guard or tackle for the Steelers this season. No. 13 - Los Angeles Rams Moving up to No.
