The Pittsburgh Steelers made another trade to move up in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, per Tom Pelissero on X<\/a>. This time, they are moving up three spots from No. 99 to No. 96, and giving up the No. 216 pick in a deal with the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh used its new pick to select Iowa OG Gennings Dunker<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a third-round pick swap and a sixth-round pick headed to Seattle for the opportunity to select the final piece of their rebuilt offensive line.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how the trade\u2019s value breaks down.<\/p>\n

Steelers Trade: No. 99 (104 value) + No. 216 (5 value)
Seahawks Trade: No. 96 (116 value)<\/p>\n

As they did last time, the Steelers came out slightly ahead in theoretical draft value in this deal.<\/p>\n

In three years as the Steelers\u2019 GM, Omar Khan made just one move up during the draft. This year, he\u2019s already made two with a separate trade in the second round<\/a>. Both deals presented great value to the Steelers, who clearly didn\u2019t want to part with their hard-earned top-100 picks in any trades.<\/p>\n

Entering the draft with 12 picks, the Steelers are now down to 10. They also now have a 63-pick gap from No. 161 in the fifth round to No. 224 in the seventh round. There is a very good chance they flip one or two of those seventh-round picks to move up in that gap, which would bring the size of the class down to standard.<\/p>\n

Here is the updated draft order with the latest trade factored in.<\/p>\n

\u2013 21st Overall (First Round) \u2013 OT Max Iheanachor\/Arizona State
\u2013 47th Overall (Second Round) \u2013 WR Germie Bernard\/Alabama

\u2013 85th Overall (Third Round) \u2013 CB Daylen Everette\/Georgia
\u2013 96th Overall (Third Round) \u2013 OG Gennings Dunker\/Iowa
\u2013 121st Overall (Fourth Round)
\u2013 161st Overall (Fifth Round)
\u2013 224th Overall (Seventh Round)
\u2013 230th Overall (Seventh Round)
\u2013 249th Overall (Seventh Round)<\/p>\n
