CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson has published a new three-round mock draft for the 2026 NFL Draft, projecting a major move by the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his simulation, the Steelers trade up to the No. 2 overall pick to select quarterback Jalen Milroe from Alabama.
Wilson's projection, published on March 31, 2026, is based on current team needs and the evolving pre-draft evaluation process. The mock draft covers the first 100 selections and reflects the latest assessments of collegiate talent entering the professional ranks.
The proposed trade would see Pittsburgh send multiple future draft picks to the Washington Commanders to secure the high selection. Milroe is widely considered one of the top quarterback prospects available in the 2026 draft class.
Mock drafts are speculative exercises and do not reflect official team intentions. The actual 2026 NFL Draft will begin on April 23, 2026, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where all team selections will be finalized.
