Round 6: Malachi Carter

Carter possesses above-average size for the wide receiver position and adequate speed to play on the outside. Combine that with his willingness to be a physical blocker and it’s easy to understand why Pittsburgh would be interested in him late in Day 3.

Carter doesn’t have starter-level talent but he can give the Steelers quality depth. Landing a guy who can make the team in Round 6 is good value and Carter should do just that.

Round 7: Jelani Woods

The Steelers are happy with what Pat Freirmuth gave them as a rookie tight end, but they can still use more depth at the position. Adding a big-bodied blocker like Woods could help fortify the position group. He’s not just a one-trick pony though, he’s got the size and hands to make tough catches down the seam as well.

Round 7: Jack Coan

Steelers fans might roll their eyes at selecting a quarterback in Round 7, but Coan is worth selecting at this spot in the draft due to his ability to push the ball down the field with above-average accuracy.

Next. Steelers like Malik Willis over Kenny Pickett. dark

He won’t be a starter anytime soon, but he can give Pittsburgh a quality backup to groom behind a new starter. Coan needs a comfortable ecosystem to thrive, but the Steelers want to have the kind of offensive line talent to afford their quarterbacks that luxury.
