The Pittsburgh Steelers have the 21st overall pick and have been linked to addressing the offensive line.
Pittsburgh could look to draft a left guard, as well as a tackle, as the Steelers’ starting left tackle, Broderick Jones, is recovering from neck surgery. So, NFL analyst Chad Reuter of NFL.com predicts Pittsburgh will select Clemson Tigers tackle Blake Miller with the 21st overall pick.
“With LT Broderick Jones recovering from December neck surgery and the team weighing whether to exercise his fifth-year option, Miller should be squarely on the Steelers’ radar,” Reuter wrote in an article published on Friday. ”Troy Fautanu can move back to left tackle if Miller needs to step in as a rookie.”
Miller could come in and start at right tackle from Day 1 and help protect whoever the Steelers quarterback is. The 6-foot-7 tackle is known for his long arms, and his speed and explosiveness are major strengths.
However, Miller’s footwork has been criticized, but if he can improve on that, he could be an impact starting tackle for the Steelers for years to come.
Pittsburgh has 12 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft, including five in the first three rounds.
The 2026 NFL Draft is set for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.
