Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said that the Steelers “have a first-round grade on Jaxson Dart, and they really like Shedeur Sanders,” but view drafting a defensive tackle as the priority.

Dulac said that defensive tackle prospects Mason Graham, Walter Nolen, Derrick Harmon and Kenneth Grant sit atop the Steelers’ draft board. The Steelers have reportedly offered Aaron Rodgers a one-year deal and are “willing to wait” for his decision, at least for now. Dulac said that the Steelers “are still spooked by the whole Kenny Pickett evaluation,” adding that “they took the best quarterback of a very average draft class, and I don’t think they want to make that mistake again.”

Per Dulac, both Dart and Sanders will be “in the conversation” for the Steelers, if their preferred defensive linemen prospects are gone, but the “pecking order” is believed to be “defensive line, running back, wide receiver and quarterback, and you throw a cornerback in there somewhere.” Dulac “firmly” believes that the Steelers are “all in” on trading up for a “marquee” quarterback prospect in 2026, if nothing pans out this year.
