About this episode

On April 27th, even after the 2026 NFL draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers roster ain't locked in yet. Last year around this time, they flipped George Pickens and Minka Fitzpatrick for big names like Jalen Ramsey and John Hussmith. Nothing that wild seems likely before July training camp, but three huge spots still need answers. Quarterback, inside linebacker, and the left side, of the offensive line. Back quarterback, it's dead quiet from Aaron Rodgers and his camp. Without word from him, we might not know till week one in September. They grab Penn State's Drew Aller at pick 76, setting up a battle with second year guy Will Howard. Mason Rudolph could snag first team reps if Rodgers sits it out. Inside linebacker talk heated up with trade buzz around starter Patrick Queen, but that flopped. They already paid his 2026 roster bonus. So he's sticking. Fans wanted a draft replacement or partner, but Steelers skipped the deep class there. No undrafted free agents either.
Maybe they trust Peyton Wilson for three-down duty or lean on Malik Harrison again. Over on the left side of the line, broader Jones hit a snag so they drafted Arizona State's Raw tackle, Max E. Hanakor. No way they start that rookie, protecting a 42-year-old Rodgers or first year Drew Aller. At left guard, shifting Troy Falteno makes sense, especially with third round pick Jennings Dunker and offseason Sinee, Brock Hoffman in the bus. Mix plenty to figure out. Training camp in July will shake all this loose, dropping real clarity on who lines out where for the Steelers. From around the league, powered by AI, this is NFL News Today. I'm Cory with the story.
