Steelers Trade for Pittman, Eye Draft Talent

0:00On April 8th, Pittsburgh Steelers' Y receiver group headed into the off-season, looking real sparse, just DK Meckhaff, Roman Wilson, and Ben Skoronic, on the roster. They lost Calvin Austin III to the Giants, Adam Thielin retired, and guys like Marquez Valdez-Skantling and Scotty Miller still sit unsigned. That left a glaring hole at the position. Right before free agency, the Steelers traded for an extended Michael Pym in junior, landing a solid number two receiver who fits Mike McCarthy's. Scheme perfectly. That move eases some pressure, but Pittsburgh's still hunting draft talent, with eyes on adding at least one, maybe more, new targets. Draft Analysts Nick Baumgarner ranks Ohio State's Carnail Tate, Arizona State's Jordan Tyson, and USC's Mackay Lemon as the top three first round. Prospects. Tate brings size and raw savvy, Tyson's the most complete one healthy, and Lemon could thrive like Ammon Rossane Brown in the right spot. Tyson's a potential Steelers fit, big body, versatile, but his injury history, including

1:02a blown knee and collarbone break, raises durability flags. Baumgarner sees a gap after those three, with Washington's Denzel Boston and Indiana's Omar Cooper Junior as solid number two's later in round one. Day two and three gems include Yukon Skyler Bell, Georgia's Daccarrier Branch, and others like Ole Miss's Dejon Shribbling, who offer yards after, catch and scheme flexibility. Steelers GM Omar Khan loves to maneuver with their 12 picks, so expect them to target these versatile receivers to bulk up the room, fast, and match. McCarthy's vision for multiple big targets.
