The Official 2026 NFL Draft Thread (No Spoilers)

Draft Hurst. He will be better than Lemon anyways. Problem solved.

 

Damn that is a scary thought.

 

So if we had a top 10 pick
With the way we are drafting lately
Would it even make a difference?

 

Hmmmm,,,,that's a scary thought....who could have dreamt that up 6 months ago?

 

Steelers
And
Pens
Are forgotten memories

 

I’m sad we didn’t get Cooper Jr…some of his highlights remind me of Antonio Brown.

 

What does a guy with a name like "Omar Kahn" know about building a football team? I bet this guy has never put on a jock strap in his life.

 

But
In all honesty, for the last 2 years, I have been saying Pirates will win a playoff game before the Steelers win one.
I am still sticking with that statement

 

So how did Eagles know we were gonna take Lemon?

Weidl talking to his brother?

 

Steelers fans reacted with surprise and confusion to the 2026 first-round selection of offensive lineman Max Iheanachor, with many questioning the pick and the pronunciation of his name. Despite the shock, the atmosphere in Pittsburgh was high-energy, and some fans expressed optimism about reinforcing the offensive line.

• Surprise and Confusion: The selection of Arizona State's Max Iheanachor was met with "shock" by many fans in attendance.
• "Who?": Social media reactions highlighted confusion, with fans asking "Who?" and how to pronounce his name.
• Focus on O-Line: Some supporters embraced the choice as necessary support for the offensive line.
• Draft Atmosphere: The reaction was taking place amid a "rock-concert atmosphere" in Pittsburgh, which is hosting the 2026 draft.

The 2026 Draft saw the Steelers continue their trend of high-stakes, debated first-round choices under GM Omar Khan.

 

I agree with you about being a contender. Not that I want them to tank, but a step or 2 back from where they have been would help to reset the roster with better draft picks. Some of the stalwarts are getting up in age and will need to be replaced, as well as some guys that will be easier to move on from, like Queen, Ramsey, etc.

 

All we need is Carson Beck to complete this outstanding draft

 

Honestly
I don’t think the Steelers will admit it
They will save face
Once again
12 picks
Had all the leverage in the world
And just sat on your hands

 

I wouldn't be mad at the pick personally.

 

Someone mentioned we will take Diego Pavia
At this point nothing will surprise me

 

So who doesn’t know how the Draft phone call works?
Darn new guys Hahahahahahaha!

 

Read a really good piece somewhere or other this week that NFL teams better get used to unpolished and raw prospects hitting the draft.

NIL and transfer portal are going to encourage everyone to move. No consistency in coaching and training. No accountability either. Can’t make a guy do remedial technique work or whatever when you paid him to come play for you.

I’ve got no idea what will happen with this pick. But I do think some really smart college and NFL coaches are predicting that flawed prospects are the new normal.

 

Khan is awesome.
If he can only get the QB situation addressed and fixed.

 

Omar Cooper Jr would have been a better pick

 

Arot will be back
Arot 4 ever

 

Read that Khan had a chance to move up but sat on it. Oh well…

 

A rot is correct.
Although I think that a Rooney decision. Khan has no say in it.

 

Broderick Jones is not set at tackle, that's why they drafted Iheanachor.
