NFL draft expert Daniel Jeremiah has published his latest update on the 2026 NFL mock draft, and the Pittsburgh Steelers went in a surprising direction.
According to Jeremiah's 2026 mock draft 3.0, the Steelers decided to pull the plug on the Broderick Jones experiment, drafting Clemson standout Blake Miller with Pick No. 21.

"Broderick Jones has underwhelmed at left tackle. With Miller in the fold, Troy Fautanu could move to the blind side in Jones' place, thus clearing a spot for the rookie at RT," Jeremiah wrote.
Jones, who has struggled to live up to his first-round draft status over the past three seasons, suffered a serious neck injury in 2025 that forced the Steelers to shut him down on injured reserve.
While Fautanu and Miller would make an excellent offensive tackle pairing, it could be more beneficial to Pittsburgh's draft plans to allow late-season breakout Dylan Cook to get the starting nod at left tackle, opening the door for the Steelers to address other key positional needs.
