The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for the 2026 NFL draft with a strategic five-round mock draft that addresses key roster needs. At the top of the list, South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers is projected to be selected as the franchise quarterback after an impressive 2025 season where he recorded over 2,500 passing yards and rushed for 674 yards, showcasing his dual-threat capability.

In the second round, USC's Ja'Kobi Lane, who was a standout with 12 touchdowns on just 45 receptions, is anticipated to expand his role significantly. The third round could see the addition of boundary cornerback Ashton Stamps from LSU, essential for strengthening the Steelers' defense. Boston College's Jude Bowry is a versatile offensive line option, while Oklahoma’s Febechi Nwaiwu is viewed as a solid pick for the fourth round, expected to replace Isaac Seumalo. Lastly, Clemson's Khalil Barnes, noted for his dual ability in run support and coverage, is a promising pick in the fifth round.
