Safety may not be a major priority for the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, but the overall strength of the class begs the question: can the team afford to pass on addressing the position?

Here is a look at several safeties the Steelers should consider drafting, with one prospect for each round in the 2026 NFL Draft.

A massive safety prospect at 6 foot 4, McNeil-Warren possesses elite coverage and ball skills that should result in him being selected in the late first round.

One of the best zone-coverage defensive backs of the draft, Haulcy would be a great value pickup for the Steelers with the 53rd overall pick.

While his tackling technique is a major red flag, Smith is another talented zone-coverage safety who would make a huge impact on Pittsburgh's already loaded secondary, while only costing the team a third-round pick.

Boasting outstanding production (fifteen interceptions over the past four seasons), Clark also brings valued versatility, being able to line up in the slot, in the box, and out deep, which is rare for a fourth-round safety prospect.

While his struggles and inconsistencies in run defense are evident, Fitzgerald is a talented safety prospect who could emerge as a Day 3 steal for Pittsburgh.

A strong run defender that isn't afraid to lay the boom on any would-be ball carriers, Stroman has the potential to eventually develop into a starting-caliber strong safety, while providing immediate impact as a special teamer.

Wisniewski is another safety prospect with a knack for stopping the run, possessing immediate value as a special teamer, given his limitations in pass coverage.
