Steelers Shock with Trade in 2026 Mock Draft

The Pittsburgh Steelers, in a CBS Sports mock draft, traded up to select Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at 32 and picked Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson at 21.

In the CBS Sports mock draft, the Steelers used picks 53 and 76 to move up to 32, selecting Alabama signal‑caller Ty Simpson. They also chose Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson at 21, a player who posted 136 catches for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns in 21 games but fell due to injury concerns.

Simpson, a polarizing prospect with high upside, lacks starting experience but is seen as a potential signal‑caller. Tyson, once projected top‑10, is expected to bring immediate depth to Pittsburgh’s receiving corps.
