Pittsburgh Steelers 2026 NFL Draft Central: Big Board, Visits, Interest and More

All throughout draft season, we’ll be updating our 2026 Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Draft Big Board.

The Steelers have already done much of their scouting work, meeting with prospects at the numerous college football all-star games, most notably the East-West Shrine Bowl in Texas the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama and the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. The Steelers Now team has been on the ground with the Steelers, covering both of those stops with live coverage from Alan Saunders, Brendan Howe and Derrick Bell.

As we work through the long list of potential Steelers draft targets, here is our big board that we’re working from. This list includes every player in attendance at the Shrine Bowl, the Senior Bowl, the NFL Combine, every player taking a pre-draft visit to Pittsburgh and players that Omar Khan, Mike McCarthy or a position coach scouted at a pro day, plus any other player positively identified as a Steelers draft target.

Note that this year, Khan and McCarthy did not attend the Senior Bowl, with Andy Weidl leading the Steelers’ contingent there.

Where we have ranked our top prospects in a class, they are order by our rankings. Otherwise, they’re ordered by their consensus rank from NFL Mock Draft Database.
