Pittsburgh Steelers Eye Offensive Line in Mel Kiper’s Mock Draft, Contingent on Aaron Rodgers’ Return
ESPN analyst Mel Kiper Jr. has unveiled a new mock draft for the Pittsburgh Steelers, projecting them to select Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane at No. 21 overall. This pick is based on the assumption that veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers will return for the 2026 season, allowing the Steelers to bypass a QB and reinforce their offensive line. The draft strategy highlights the team’s focus on protecting their potential returning signal-caller and addressing key roster needs.
