Steelers disrespected in post-draft NFL power rankings
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been disrespected in the latest NFL power rankings, as their positioning declined after the draft.
Whether you love it or hate it, the Pittsburgh Steelers ' 2026 NFL Draft class filled a variety of positional needs on all three phases of the ball — but you wouldn't have guessed it based on the latest NFL power rankings update. Following the draft, Eric Edholm of NFL. com provided an updated look at the power rankings for all 32 teams.
And despite what many considered to be an interesting, yet promising, draft haul, the Steelers fell from No. 13 to No. 15.
"On the whole, I liked the Steelers' draft work. I can make a case for nearly every pick they made, plus a few they didn't," Edhold wrote. "The two biggest question marks for me were with first-rounder Max Iheanachor and third-rounder Drew Allar.
Iheanachor was a fun study, and I had him in my top 32, but I felt like the Steelers could have maneuvered up better, either for another tackle or a receiver. "They had the picks to do so. Allar could be a terrific QB project, but this just muddies the waters even more at that position.
