About this episode

Steelers Draft Bounce-Back: Trades, Picks, and a Rebuild Push

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a strong comeback in the 2026 NFL Draft, trading up in rounds two and three to secure four solid picks. They drafted wide receiver Germie Bernard, quarterback Drew Allar, cornerback Daylen Everett, and offensive lineman Gennings Dunker. The teams front office, led by GM Omar Khan, shifted from a passive to an aggressive approach, learning from the previous days draft board standoff. Fans had mixed reactions, particularly about the first-round tackle Max Iheanachor, but the addition of Dunker for left guard now seems like a smart move. Allar is seen as the top QB prospect since Ben Roethlisbergers retirement. However, Everetts selection in the late fourth or early fifth round has raised some eyebrows due to concerns about his tape. Despite this, the Steelers draft board is shaping up well, setting the stage for a significant rebuild push heading into training camp.
