The 2025 NFL Draft has come to an end — which means it's the perfect time for a Steelers ' way-too-early 2026 mock draft. Pittsburgh addressed its defensive concerns with this year’s haul, but several areas on offense still need attention heading into 2026.

PITTSBURGH -- The 2025 NFL draft wrapped up Saturday night. Despite a lot of speculation around them perhaps drafting Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the Pittsburgh Steelers used their No. 21 selection of the first round to fill a defensive need on Thursday night.

After the draft concluded in Green Bay on Sunday, Mark Murphy, the Packers' president and CEO, was joined by other Packers and Steelers representatives as the Packers handed the ball off to the Steelers, effectively starting the timer until Pittsburgh plays host to the NFL Draft in 2026.
