Steelers Draft: 12 Picks, 6 Stars

0:00It's April 4th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Pittsburgh Steelers got the most ammo in the 2026 NFL Draft, with 12 picks across all seven rounds. Draft kicks off Thursday, April 23rd, and wraps Saturday, April 25th. They hold round 1, pick 21, then spots like 53 and round 2, and cluster in the middle rounds. New head coach Mike McCarthy steps into a squad needing depth bad, especially after grabbing wide-out Michael Pimman Jr. to team with DK Medcalf. That bolsters the passing game, but third-year guy Roman Wilson sits as number three, with just 164 career yards. Fans buzzing about how these holes hit home-wide receiver depth screams for a first-round splash and safety ranks right behind. Pittsburgh sits pretty at 21, to snag a day-one starter if a top safety slides, with three consensus first-round guys out there. Three picks in round three, give McCarthy serious trade juice or stray value halls.
