Rate My 2026 NFL Draft

This is just for fun and to generate more draft conversations. Keep in mind I used an auto-draft site. I could only choose players that were available. Unfortunately, a WR in the first 3 picks didn't happen. What was left didn't have value so I chose positions worthy of the early pick. Lemon and Consepcion were gone before the 21st pick. I am not sold on Boston at 21. I was trying to grab Hurst, but another team took him earlier than I expected. I supplied a link for some info on each selection.

FYI, I used the site https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft. I chose 7 rounds at the fastest speed. I used Consensus for the player list. The draft only took a few minutes. Make a list. I am interested in seeing the draft picks from other Steelers' fans. Choose Consensus as the player list so we are all on the same page.

Not bad overall.... would've liked to see OG addressed much earlier, but everything else is more than doable.....
I'm a huge fan of Kilgore and Donte Corleone in the 4th is a major steal

 

I'm not a fan of the first two picks that's a little early for Rodriguez IMO, I like the Malachi Fields pick though. And Wetjen would be good value in the seventh round as a return man on special teams.

 

I would not mind it. I like Fields but I think he will be long gone by 85 though.

 

I would be over the moon to land Peter Woods. Quasi generational ass kickers like him don't come around often. Never mind that but Cameron Heyward is much closer to the end than he is at the beginning. Why not give Derrick Harmon a running mate in the same vein that Heyward had when Tuitt was around.


Jacob Rodriguez would be an interesting pick for certain. The athleticism is a legitimate concern but the traits for him to play the Off Ball position are second only to Styles. Having him behind the likes of Woods, Harmon, Benton and Yahya Black would allow him to be run stopping machine.


Kilgore and Fields are all about projection. I do like Kilgore but I don't see his home at Safety like so many. If anything, him losing 10lbs would maximize his talents at Cornerback; particularly as a Big Slot option. If that isn't the plan, him playing the STAR could work though I would have rolled the dice on Bud Clark. As for Fields, he can separate but boy oh boy does it take him some time to do so. Skyler Bell would be a better option as the team needs a separator along with a very good route runner.



If Crownover is still there, I'd sprint to the podium. Same goes with Corleaone. Hell no to Stukes and Tacario Davis would be my preferred option. Rivers suffers the same problem as Fields does but worse so a major hard pass on him. Barrett and Mahlman both have severe lateral mobility issues but doubly so for Barrett.


Final two picks I would be very good with.
