ESPN's latest three-round mock draft by Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates features the Pittsburgh Steelers making a surprising move to trade up for a quarterback. However, rather than targeting Shedeur Sanders or Jaxson Dart, the Steelers select Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon at pick No. 21. This selection has gained traction among draft analysts.

In the third round, the Steelers acquire Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe by trading with the Las Vegas Raiders, giving up their third-round picks for this year and the next. Milroe, known for his exceptional mobility and athleticism, becomes the fifth quarterback chosen in the draft and is considered to have significant potential upside.
