Steelers Eye Versatile WRs in Draft

0:00On April 21st, Pittsburgh Steelers might grab a wide receiver in the 2026 NFL draft, and two names popping up are Texas A&M's K.C., Concept C.O. and Indiana's Omar Cooper. They match exactly what head coach Mike McCarthy wants, versatile dudes who line up inside or out. McCarthy laid it out in his pre-draft talk, saying his system thrives on moving receivers around to confuse defenses and keep things simple for the quarterback. No pigeon-holing guys into slot-only roles, it's all about creating match-ups. Right now, the Steelers are desperate after trading for Michael Pittman Jr. this off-season, and they've got DK Metcalf too. But death is shaky. Third round to Roman Wilson has just 12 catches for 166 yards and two scores over 14 games in two. Seasons. Word from draft guru Tony Pauline is that Omar Cooper could be in play for Pittsburgh at pick number 21. Both these prospects bring explosiveness.

1:01Concept C.O. is a deep threat with yards after catch, while Cooper's bigger, stronger in the red zone, and contested catch beast. Adding either, would give McCarthy the flexible weapons to elevate the passing game, pushing Wilson down the depth chart and setting up options for 2027.
