Steelers' Draft & Trade Talk: Rudolph, Elliott, Highsmith, Queen

0:00On April 5th, Pittsburgh Steelers gearing up for the 2026 NFL Draft in under 3 weeks where they'll add major roster pieces, but keep. An eye on 4 guys who could get traded out before week 1. Quarterback Mason Rudolph turned heads after leading 3 straight wins to end 2023 and snag a play-out spot, flipping fan love from. Hate to hype, but with a likely draft pick, Will Howard already here and Aaron Rodgers expected back, he's the extra in a crowded room. Safety to Sean Elliott balled out in 2024, earning a midseason extension, but 2025 brought injuries that sidelined him for 12 games, forcing all kinds of safety experiments, trades, and signings like Jaquan Brisker, whose style matches Elliott's. Ed rusher Alex Heismeth could free up about 8 million in cap space for draft picks, especially with Nick Herbert prime for a starting gig and extension. He's arguably their top guy behind TJ Watt, so moving Heismeth for a late day 2 or early day 3 pick in 2027 makes.

1:03Since, linebacker, Patrick Queen hits the last year of his deal, unlikely to stay past 2026, just switched agents, and if they grab an off ball, linebacker in their 5 top 100 picks, he's prime trade bait, lots bubbling as the draft clock ticks. That wraps NFL news today, brought to you with AI. I'm Corey with the story.
