Modelo de análise da ESPN aponta Ty Simpson como principal opção do Steelers na primeira rodada

O Draft Day Predictor da ESPN atribui ao quarterback Ty Simpson, de Alabama, 11,5% de chance de ser a escolha de primeira rodada do Pittsburgh Steelers no próximo Draft da NFL. O modelo classifica vários prospectos como possíveis seleções da equipe. Pittsburgh está ligeiramente atrás de outros times na disputa pelo principal candidato.

A ESPN divulgou seu Draft Day Predictor anual, que estima a probabilidade de principais prospectos serem selecionados por times específicos, incluindo o Pittsburgh Steelers. O modelo atribui a maior probabilidade a Ty Simpson, quarterback de Alabama, com 11,5% para a escolha de primeira rodada de Pittsburgh. Dirigentes dos Steelers demonstraram pouco interesse, sem a presença de tomadores de decisão em seu Pro Day e sem nenhuma visita agendada, de acordo com a análise dos resultados do modelo reportada pelo Steelers Depot em 4 de abril de 2026. Dillon Thieneman, safety de Oregon, segue com 7,5%. Ele oferece versatilidade, tendo atuado tanto como safety de cobertura profunda quanto próximo à linha. Omar Cooper Jr., wide receiver de Indiana, aparece com 6% e possui uma conexão prévia com o novo técnico de wide receivers de Pittsburgh, Adam Henry, desde 2022. Outras probabilidades notáveis incluem Kadyn Proctor, offensive lineman de Alabama, com 6%; Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, safety de Toledo, com 5,75%; Avieon Terrell, cornerback de Clemson, com 5,5%; e Vega Ioane, offensive guard de Penn State, com 4,5%. Pittsburgh ocupa a segunda posição para Simpson, atrás do New York Jets, a terceira para Thieneman e Cooper, atrás do Minnesota Vikings e do Carolina Panthers, e mantém posições competitivas para os demais. As previsões destacam as necessidades dos Steelers nas posições de quarterback e safety, embora a equipe não tenha recebido os principais candidatos para visitas pré-draft. Analistas observam que tais modelos combinam dados com incertezas, recomendando cautela nas projeções do Draft.
