Prysock is the second known Top 30 visitor. The Steelers also hosted Miami OT Markel Bell last week, as previously reported.
Bell is likely to fall in the late Day 2/ early Day 3 range. Prysock probably early Day 3.
The Steelers have 12 picks include: three 3rds, two 4ths, a 5th and two 6ths.
The Pittsburgh Steelers hosted Washington CB Ephesians Prysock last week for a Top 30 visit, per source.
At 6-3, 196 and with 33 1/8” arms, he’s a super long corner. He played more than 2,600 defensive snaps over 49 college games and had a strong showing at the Senior Bowl.

Cameron Heyward, set to turn 37 in May, has agreed to a new two-year deal with the Steelers worth $32.25 million, source confirms. The first year is guaranteed.
The move keeps Heyward in Pittsburgh through the 2027 season and frees up about $5.5 M in cap space.
If the Steelers want tackle insurance for Broderick to go along with Dylan Cook, there aren’t a lot with LT experience:
Rasheed Walker — probably a much bigger swing than fits the budget
Fred Johnson
Jamaree Salyer
Yosh Nijman
Cam Robinson
Trey Pimpkins
The Steelers may simply round out the WR room in the draft. Could also see adding a slot/ PR.
Just FWIW, the top WRs available:
Jauan Jennings (maybe redundant with what they have)
Romeo Doubs
Calvin Austin III
Keenan Allen
Stefon Diggs
Bradin Cooks
Tyreek Hill
Christian Kirk
Marquise Brown
If the Steelers decide Jalen Ramsey fits as a nickel (still unclear exactly how this will shake out), they might consider a true free safety:
Kevin Byard
Jaquan Brisker
Nick Cross
Alohi Gilman
Jaylinn Hawkins
Nick Scott
Xavier Woods
After the first initial wave of free agency, the Steelers’ biggest remaining need is a starting left guard. Some options:
Elgton Jenkins
Joel Bitonio
Kevin Zeitler
Wyatt Teller
Dylan Parham
Alijah Vera-Tucker
Chris Paul
Greg Van Roten
Daniel Faalele

TJ Watt and Maxx Crosby in the AFC North
The Steelers are hosting Miami OT Markel Bell today for a Top 30 visit.
At 6-9 and 346 pounds, he’s a massive human being. A Senior Bowl participant, he’s projected to be drafted late Day 2 or early Day 3.
In my first mock draft, I traded up to land one of the top WRs. What are the options if the Steelers stand pat at No. 21?
www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...
The Steelers need to rebuild their WR room — and Romeo Doubs fits the offense.
Here’s a look at some more players at positions of need for the team to consider:

The Steelers are releasing Jonnu Smith, an inevitable that saves $7 million against the cap and streamlines a TE depth chart that had one TE too many.

Should read first round. Thank you for pointing out. Will get it corrected.
Ty Simpson believes he's "ready" for the NFL after just 15 starts and a "franchise QB."
Do the Steelers agree?
That question, in some ways, is where their draft starts. The answer determines where the team goes from there.

Here’s more on what I’m hearing about the Steelers’ offseason plans including:

People on all levels of the Steelers organization — players, coaches and top decision-makers — have maintained consistent communication with the Aaron Rodgers and believe they’ll get an answer from the QB in the next few weeks.
Back from the combine. What I’m hearing about:
• Rodgers latest
• A market for Muth
• Highsmith / Herbig
• Broderick’s injury
• At CB, Steelers talking with pending FAs — drafting one likely
• Meetings with ‘26 QBs

The OT position is fluid. Troy Fautanu was solid in his first healthy season and backup Dylan Cook played fine in a small sample size.
But Broderick Jones is recovering from neck surgery and now Anderson (who endured a late-season knee injury) is out of the picture.
The Steelers are planning to release OT Calvin Anderson, per source. They’ll save $2M of his $2.415 cap hit in 2026.
Ty Simpson believes he’s “ready” for the NFL and a “franchise quarterback.”
Do the Steelers agree?
In a draft with endless questions and a sprawling flowchart of possibilities, it all starts there for Pittsburgh.
