Steelers Trade Up for Top Safety

0:00It's April 3rd. This is NFL News today. AI powered stories shaping the season. Pittsburgh Steelers just locked in their safety squad, which Iquan Briskers signed, and Darnell Savage agreed to terms. They also got to Sean Elliott in Sebastian Castro, rounding out a solid veteran group at the position. Kyle Dugger was floating as a backup option after starting nine gains for them last season, with two picks and 42 tackles. But he just inked a deal with the AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals instead. Steelers insider Jerry Duleck dropped a hint that the team might trade up in the first round of the 2026 draft for a safety, skipping, guards or why receivers. Now with Dugger off the board, the Bengals at the 10th pick might pass on Ohio State star Caleb Downs. That could let him slide right to Pittsburgh's 21st spot, making a trade up cheaper with maybe just a second or third round or added. The Cincinnati Skips Downs washed the Steelers' pounce and snagged that top talent without burning next year's first rounder they need for a quarterback.
