Pittsburgh Steelers: Tacario Davis - Draft Steal?

0:00On April 2nd, Pittsburgh Steelers might hold off on cornerbacks until day 2 or 3 of the 2026 NFL draft, but Washington corner, Ticario Davis is one name they should circle. This 6-4-194-pound athlete runs a blazing 4.41 in the 40-yard dash with a projection landing him. Late second round to early third, Davis brings nightmare match-up size that makes quarterbacks think twice, paired with speed you wouldn't expect from his frame. He shines in run support, uses those 33-3-8-inch arms to disrupt at the line and wraps up tackles like a pro, backing it with 25 passes defended and 3 picks over his career. Fans and scouts love his production jump, especially after a quieter start, but he's got some hurdles like drawing too many flags from his physical. Style and getting beat by quicker slot guys on sharp routes. The stats tell the story, just one pass defended in 2022, then exploding with 15 the next year and 44 tackles in 20, 24, before 2 picks this season.

1:05That growth curve screams potential for a secondary needing length. Steelers brass could snag a steel here, if Davis polishes those edges, keep an eye as combine workouts, drop more tape on this rising husky.
