The Pittsburgh Steelers have the 21st overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and appear to be trending in a certain direction.

Pittsburgh could go in a couple of different ways, especially if its draft board tilts a certain way. Yet, NFL Draft analyst Dane Brugler of The Athletic believes the buzz around the Steelers is that Pittsburgh will be looking to take an offensive lineman.

With the buzz being offensive line, Brugler had Pittsburgh selecting offensive tackle Blake Miller out of Clemson at 21st overall.

“There is plenty of league buzz that the Steelers could be in the tackle market with this pick (or even via a trade-up situation),” Brugler wrote in an article on Thursday. “Most teams view Miller as a high-floor prospect who will come in and lock down an offensive line spot as a rookie.”

Miller is a 6-foot-6 offensive tackle who was an iron man in college, making 54 starts. He could come in and be a Day 1 starter on the offensive line and projects to be a solid right tackle in the NFL.

Ultimately, Brugler believes the Steelers will look to address their offensive line in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Pittsburgh has 12 total picks, including five picks in the first two days.

The 2026 NFL Draft is set for April 23-25 in Pittsburgh.
