In a surprising move, the Steelers swapped picks 53 and 76 for the Seahawks to climb to the 32nd overall spot, where they selected Alabama signal‑caller Ty Simpson. The deal also allowed Pittsburgh to take Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson at 21.
Tyson finished his college career with 136 receptions for 1,812 yards and 18 touchdowns in 21 games, while Simpson, though lacking starting experience, is viewed as a high‑upside prospect in a loaded quarterback class.
