Worst Steelers Mock Draft: Trade & Edge Rusher

0:00On April 22nd, folks, we sifted through tons of mock drafts for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2026 and finally nailed the absolute worst. One out there, NFL.com's LandZerline has them trading back from pick number 20 with the Cleveland Browns to number 24, then grabbing Auburn Edge, Russia, Keldrick Falk. Zerline calls Falk a high-character guy still building his frame and skills, perfect for odd or even fronts down the line. But that trade between division rivals, straight unlikely. The real beef here ain't with Falk himself. He's got pro potential. Is that the Steelers are stacked at Edge, already with TJ Watt, Alex Heismith, and Nick Herbick barely cracking the lineup behind those vets. No way they jam up that spot with the first rounder. Instead, with Broderick Jones nursing an injury after three shaky seasons, Pittsburgh needs a left tackle bad in Round 1. Quarterbacks like Ty Simpson are too rich at 21 anyway, better to chill to the stack 2027 class.
