Steelers Mock Draft: Omar Cooper Jr. at 21

0:00On April 21st, Matt Drafts keep buzzing with the Pittsburgh Steelers grabbing a wide receiver at the 21st pick in this year's NFL Draft. The latest one from Mike Defabo at the Athletic has them selecting Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. right there at number 21. Even after trading for Michael Pym in Jr. this offseason, and DK Meckhaff last year, the Steelers still want a young receiver to build around. Long-term, Defabo points out that Cooper links up perfectly since he played under the team's new receivers coach Adam Henry back in Indiana in 2022. That connection could make the fit seamless in Mike McCarthy's offense. Cooper wrapped up four seasons with the Hoosiers, hauling in 115 catches for 1,798 yards and 22 touchdowns across 42 games. His yards after catch skills and slot versatility would complement Matt Kaff and Pittman nicely. As Draft talk heats up, keep an eye on whether Pittsburgh pulls the trigger on a receiver to deepen that room for the future. I'm Corey with The Story.
