It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for a weekly Steelers links roundup at BTSC. But first, let’s take a look around the AFC North:

• Ravens draft grades Reacts survey: Grading the full 2026 class

• Bengals’ vote of confidence reaffirmed in linebackers Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight

• Browns had unique ask in trade talks for pick #6, did ‘pretty good’ playing the board

Now, onto some Steelers news and discussion:

Post-draft NFL Power Rankings: Rams slide but Eagles, Steelers, Lions rise after makeovers

The Athletic tabbed the Steelers as a riser in the NFL power rankings following the team’s offseason. Pittsburgh currently ranks one spot ahead of the Baltimore Ravens.

Arch Manning, Jeremiah Smith headline way-too-early 2027 NFL Draft top 25 prospects

“Too early,” you angrily type in the comments, but to the real draft sickos among us, this is a worthwhile read. Tice was one of the first to hype up 2026 first-overall pick Fernando Mendoza, and he’s also been one of the first to maintain that Arch Manning is a blue-chip prospect despite a disappointing start to 2025.

3 Pittsburgh Steelers rookies who have the best chance to make an immediate impact on the field in 2026

Wetjen was a truly elite return man in college. Whether or not he turns into an offensive contributor for the Steelers is a bigger question, but he should have an immediate role on the team entering the 2026 season.

A look at the Steelers 2026 Draft Class

This is a good read from Steelers.com with quotes from players and coaches regarding each pick of the team’s recent draft class.

The brutally honest thing Ben Roethlisberger said about Drew Allar that has Steelers fans talking

Of course, Ben Roethlisberger’s opinions don’t matter much to the direction of the Steelers anymore, but it sounds like the former Pittsburgh great isn’t all that enamored with Allar pick. The Penn State product threw for 1,100 yards, eight touchdowns, and three interceptions in his six games in 2025.

Ranking Steelers UDFAs’ Chances of Making Roster

Boykin’s 3.83 RAS is worrying when it comes to his overall profile, but in a wide-open Steelers safety room, he has as good a chance as anyone to make the team’s final roster as a special teamer.

Which Steelers UDFAs could surprise?

Boykin is a solid pick, but the Steelers also signed five other undrafted free agents last week. Here’s the list:

• Devan Boykin, cornerback, Indiana

• Daylan Carnell, linebacker, Missouri

• Kevin Jobity Jr., defensive lineman, Syracuse

• Laith Marjan, kicker, Kansas

• Lake McRee, tight end, USC

• Chamon Metayer, tight end, Arizona State

Besides Boykin, I’d keep an eye on Jobity, who logged a strong 8.87 RAS pre-draft and recorded five sacks as an interior defensive lineman in 2025. The Steelers didn’t invest much in their defensive line during the draft beyond sixth-rounder Gabriel Rubio, meaning Jobity could still challenge for a spot on the depth chart.
