I\u2019ll spare the long introduction. You know what a mock draft is. This is the last one. Let\u2019s do it.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Rams receive: No. 21 pick, No. 85 pick, No. 135 pick, No. 161 pickPittsburgh Steelers receive: No. 13 pick, 2027 fourth-round pick<\/p>\n
The Rams currently hold picks No. 13, 61, and 93 in the first three rounds. After that, they don\u2019t have another pick until No. 207. The Steelers send them third, fourth, and fifth-round picks to move up eight spots and get a fourth-round selection in next year\u2019s draft for their trouble.<\/p>\n
Round 1, Pick 13: WR Makai Lemon, USC<\/p>\n
The Steelers need another wide receiver, particularly one who operates in the slot, which Lemon does. Omar Khan raved about the USC product in his press conference on Monday, so don\u2019t be surprised to se a trade up for the All-American.<\/p>\n
Round 2, Pick 53: OT Gennings Dunker, Iowa<\/p>\n
With the injury to Broderick Jones putting his status up in the air for training camp, the Steelers have a larger need at tackle than originally expected. While Dylan Cook played well in the final month of the season, going with the Joe Moore Award winner as the long-term answer at tackle is the way to go.<\/p>\n
Round 3, Pick 76: LB Kyle Louis, Pittsburgh<\/p>\n
The Pitt product has been terrific in the leadup to the draft starting with a great week at the Senior Bowl. With Patrick Queen in the final year of his contract, the Steelers need to plan for the future at the position.<\/p>\n
Round 3, Pick 99: G Billy Schrauth, Notre Dame<\/p>\n
The Steelers lost Isaac Seumalo to the Arizona Cardinals, and their current options at the position are Spencer Anderson and Brock Hoffman. Utilizing a top 100 pick on a guard is likely to happen, and they take Schrauth here.<\/p>\n
Indianapolis Colts receive: No. 121 pickPittsburgh Steelers receive: QB Anthony Richardson<\/p>\n
Instead of taking a flyer on Carson Beck or any of the other quarterbacks of that tier, Pittsburgh trades for the former top 10 pick for Mike McCarthy to try and groom into a quality starter.<\/p>\n
Round 6, Pick 216: TE Oscar Delp, Georgia<\/p>\n
After collecting tight ends in 2025, the Steelers are down to two with Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington. Delp would serve as the No. 3 in jumbo sets.<\/p>\n
Round 7, Pick 224: QB Taylen Green, Arkansas<\/p>\n
The Steelers will go to Latrobe with four quarterbacks. Green is uber athletic and could be stashed on the practice squad, or even converted into a receiver i.e. Antwaan Randle El.<\/p>\n
Round 7, Pick 230: RB Robert Henry, UTSA<\/p>\n
Henry topped 1,000 yards last season with 11 total touchdowns. He\u2019ll make for a good camp body and potential 53-man call-up in the event of injury.<\/p>\n
Round 7, Pick 237: WR Lewis Bond, Boston College<\/p>\n
Boston College was dreadful in 2025, but Bond was one of the few bright spots. He caught 88 passes for 993 yards and could compete for one of the final spots on the depth chart.<\/p>\n
