The Pittsburgh Steelers are potentially looking to bolster their offensive line in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Gennaro Filice believes the Steelers will ultimately decide to further strengthen their offensive line. In his latest mock draft, Filice has the Steelers selecting Alabama offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor with the No. 21 overall pick.
Proctor’s Potential Fit with the Steelers
Filice notes that Pittsburgh is in fine shape from centre through right tackle, but the left side of the offensive line has issues. He highlights that LG Isaac Seumalo just departed in free agency, while LT Broderick Jones has yet to live up to his first-round pedigree, and he’s currently recovering from spinal fusion surgery.
Filice wrote that opinions are mixed on whether the gargantuan Proctor projects better as a tackle or guard in the NFL, but Pittsburgh has a place to put him, one way or another.
Proctor, who stands at a massive 6-foot-7, 366 pounds, was a consensus All-American and first-team All-SEC in 2025. He could help solve at least one of the Steelers question marks along their offensive line.
Offensive Line Questions for Pittsburgh
Since Seumalo signed with the Arizona Cardinals in free agency, the Steelers have only added former undrafted free agent Brock Hoffman to compete with former seventh-round pick Spencer Anderson for the job.
Jones’ status is still very much up in the air after he suffered a season-ending neck injury in Week 12 of last season.
Lance Zierlein thinks Proctor’s unique build and potential versatility could make him a no-brainer pick if he’s still available when the Steelers are put on the clock.
Zierlein wrote that Proctor is a mass of humanity with rare size and length at his command. He’s capable as a move blocker but shines when rolling downhill as a bona-fide people mover with bulldozing power.
The Steelers have kept their cards close to their chest in regard to their plans in the 2026 NFL Draft.
