1 offensive tackle Steelers can target every round of 2026 NFL Draft

With more questions than answers surrounding Broderick Jones' future , offensive tackle prospects will be high on the Pittsburgh Steelers ' watch list for the 2026 NFL Draft . Here's a look at seven prospects the Steelers could target, one for each round in the draft. First round: Blake Miller, Clemson Steadily improving in pass protection every collegiate season to emerge as a potential first-round prospect, Miller would be a solid right tackle addition, allowing the Steelers to move Troy Fautanu to the left side.

Second round: Caleb Tiernan, North Western Another excellent pass protector, Tiernan would give the Steelers a Day 1 starter at the price of a late-second-round draft pick. Third round: Markel Bell, Miami Pass protection is Bell's calling card, but his struggles in run blocking are legitimate. The issues aren't a deal-breaker, however, and Bell's upside cannot be overlooked, especially in Round 3.

Fourth round: Kage Casey, Boise State Casey, while talented, has some arm-length concerns that may impact his level of play at the NFL level. At worst, he'd be forced to slide inside to guard, where the Steelers also have a major need. Fifth round: Jude Bowry, Boston College Another offensive tackle prospect with smaller arms, Bowry follows a similar pattern to that of Casey, that if he can't find success as an offensive tackle at the next level, he'd still be useful as a guard for Pittsburgh.

Sixth round: Aamil Wagner, Notre Dame Possessing excellent length and solid hands in pass protection, Wagner offers tremendous value for a Day 3 offensive tackle. A developmental prospect that could eventually emerge as a long-time starter, Wagner would be a great addition with the Steelers' 216th overall pick. Seventh round: Fa'alili Fa'amoe, Wake Forest More dependable as a pass protector than a run blocker, Fa'amoe has a great frame that any team would love as a seventh-round addition for their offensive line.
