1 Feb
Summary
- Steelers' first-round mock pick is Kadyn Proctor, Alabama offensive tackle.
- Second-round mock pick for Steelers is USC wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane.
- Proctor's fit as guard or tackle depends on other roster developments.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are actively shaping their offseason roster with a new head coach and coordinator hires. Attention is now shifting towards the 2026 NFL draft, with one mock draft from The Athletic highlighting potential selections. The Steelers are projected to select Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor in the first round. His versatility is noted, with possibilities of him playing guard or tackle, depending on the development of current players like Broderick Jones.
In the second round, the mock draft suggests USC wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane as a potential target. This pick would address the receiver position if not prioritized in the first round. The article also mentions Oregon safety Dillon Thienemen as an elite option if a receiver is selected earlier. Both scenarios present compelling choices for the Steelers' draft strategy.
