~OFFICIAL 2026 TSF.COM FANTASY DRAFT STEELERS VOTING & DISCUSSION~

Do we call it for Fano to get this draft moving again?

 

Sorry guys...yeah I'll vote for him

 

I called it. I was waiting for @Blast Furnace to do the honors, but in the interest in getting this thing moving again.....

Dan Rooney liked this pick so much he photobombed my AI image. Lol

 

From what I've been reading about him he would be an average to above average OT but be an excellent OG.

 

We are coming up in a couple of picks so I thought I would mention some ILB's that are available as of now. Jake Golday from Cincinnati and Jake Rodriguez from Texas Tech.

 

Round 2 is usually our 'splash' pick. I don't see a RB here, but maybe a WR/TE receiving option? MM seems to really like his linemen early as well. Maybe defensive front 7? I got no ideas on names yet.

 

I can't decide between McNeil-Warren, Chris Bell, or Jacob Rodriguez. The Steelers signed 2 safeties in free agency. Bell is coming off a major injury and isn't the slot WR the Steelers need, but when his knee is healed, he will be as good as the top 3 wide receivers, Tate, Tyson, and Lemon. If the d-line does its job, I like Rodriguez.

 

I feel like the Steelers have to go WR here. There are still some good options in round 2, but none of those options will be available in round 3.

I would go with either Chris Bell, Germie Bernard, Antonio Williams, or Skyler Bell with this next pick.

 

As we are close to the Steelers pick, my official 2nd rd vote is for Wash. CB Tacario Davis

 

I will also vote for NB/SCB Keionte Scott, Miami.

 

What are your thoughts on ILB Josiah Trotter 20 year old Sophomore. Dad was a 12 year vet, and brother is currently playing with the Eagles.

Injured his knee the last game of the season, so currently he is doing no running at the Combine or Pro Day. I don't understand why he would not use his family and NIL money to stay in school another year and go as a 1st round pick in 2027.

Josiah is a hitter / run stopper, something that Payton Wilson is not.

 

He is definitely a hitter. Trotter also excels at blowing up lead blockers to allow others to make the tackle. 2 concerns are injuries and he's not great in coverage. But when we face a run heavy team like the Ravens he can definitely be an upgrade in stopping the run.

 

Porter
Dean
Samuel
Ramsey/Nickel/FS
Echols

vs

Metcalf
Pittman
Roman Wilson

I'm sorry guys. To not draft a receiver here would be absolutely bonkers. Keep in mind that Pittman has durability issues.

I officially vote for Germie Bernard, WR, ALABAMA

 

Still some quality WR's left even though 8 have been taken. Brenen Thompson from Mississippi State ran a 4.26 at the combine. 7 of his 10 TD's were over 42 yards, even though he is a one trick pony that one trick is being able to blow past everyone else on the field.
Antonio Williams is a smooth route runner with good speed from Clemson but has had 2 of his 4 years there end early from injuries.
Chris Bell from Louisville could eventually be a very good NFL WR but tore his ACL at the end of last season and his availability this coming year is in doubt. Notre Dame's Malachi Fields is a big WR but only ran a 4.62 forty and we have Germie Bernard from Alabama. If Aaron Rodgers comes back this year then he would love Germie, he runs crisp precise routes and most importantly the QB always knows where he is going to be on a pass pattern. I'll hold off for a little while to see where the voting is going because I still like Safety Emmanuel McNeil Warren from Toledo and ILB Jake Rodriguez from Texas Tech.

 

Love the TE ELI Stowers, I tried to talk myself into taking him at #30 for Denver.


Does anyone know why Fields did not run at his Pro Day. After bombing the NFL Combine 40 with a 4.61, he promised he would run it faster at his Pro Day.

 

Stowers should have no trouble high pointing the catch, he high jumped over 7 feet in HS. If it wasn't for being in the same draft class as Sadiq, Stowers would have been easily the best TE in the draft.

 

I too will get on board with WR Germie Bernard as he looks like a Route-Running Demon, something MetCalf and Pittman are not.



Steelers are stuck with Muth for another year, and with Washington getting the blocking snaps, I just don't see a 3rd TE getting many throws with Mike McCarthy's offense.

 

Jacob Rodriguez @mac daddyo!!

 

I am going Bernard as well.
