Steelers Shock with Trade for Tyson and Simpson in 2026 Mock Draft

The Steelers moved up in the 2026 mock draft, trading picks 53 and 76 to the Seahawks to secure Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at 32. They also selected Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson with the 21st overall pick.

Tyson, who caught 136 passes for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns in 21 games, was projected as a top‑10 pick but injury concerns may have pushed him to Pittsburgh. Simpson, a polarizing prospect with high upside but limited starting experience, is seen as a potential signal‑caller for the franchise.
