With just three days to the 2026 NFL Draft, trade speculation is everywhere. We talked about a pre-draft trade that would make sense for Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers that would help both teams by sending quarterback Mac Jones to the Steelers in exchange for EDGE Alex Highsmith, along with a swap of picks.Here's our our mock draft turned out using that trade as the template.The tradeSteelers get QB Mac Jones and pick No. 58The Niners get EDGE Alex Highsmith and pick Nos. 76, 85, and 99First round - G Vega Ioane - Penn StateWith Jones in place, getting a starting left guard is the team's top priority.
We aren't convinced Vega Ioane will be on the board at No. 21 but if he is, this is easily the best option.Second round - WR Bryce Lance - North Dakota StateIt took a bit to warm up to Bryce Lance as a second-round option but a run on wide receivers leaves us here. He's got plenty of NFL traits and his elite speed definitely helps his stock.Second round - OT Caleb Tiernan - NorthwesternTiernan doesn't get a lot of hype but he's got all the traits of a starter and a ton of experience. His critics point to shorter arms but the film backs up that he's an NFL starter.Fourth round - CB Tacario Davis - WashingtonDavis is very similar to guys like Joey Porter Jr. and Jalen Ramsey with great length, field speed, physicality in coverage and good flexibility.Fourth round - DT DeMonte Capehart - ClemsonAdding help along the defensive line is a must and we feel like Capehart's ceiling as a player is much higher thant what we say at Clemson.This article originally appeared on Steelers Wire: Steelers pull off huge trade in latest mock draft update
