Steelers' 2026 Draft: Savvy Trades, Uncertain Upside
The article assesses the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2026 class, praising Omar Khan’s trio of trades (moving up for Germie Bernard, up for Gennings Dunker, and trading back for Riley Nowakowski), the offense-oriented versatility of Bernard, Wetjen, and Heidenreich, and the team’s continued trench investment with Iheanachor and Dunker, plus Day Three special-teams value and a broad youth infusion. It also raises concerns: Drew Allar’s Round 3 selection, a Day Three ceiling of Wetjen/Nowakowski/Rubio, potential lack of immediate help for a win-now team, a thin tight end situation due to the Day Two run, and an underwhelming undrafted free-agent class.
