NFL draft profile 2026 : Chris Brazzell II (Wide Receiver, Tennessee) The Steelers need to create more explosives on offense. Few prospects have as much big-play potential as the Tennessee wideout.

The Steelers traded for Michael Pittman Jr today. I actually think that makes waiting at WR in the draft and taking a swing on a guy like Chris Brazzell more appealing

And extension is 3-$59m. Like that a lot. Takes pressure off drafting a WR in the first round, now they could arguably wait until the third

Khan artist seemingly in his bag. Only a late round swap, still looking for exact picks being swapped but he fits really well as a compliment to Metcalf and gives PIT nice size at the position

Putting some pieces together ahead of the Steelers FA...

After a frustrating 4 yrs in GB, Eric Stokes played for Patrick Graham in LV on a prove-it deal & had his best season as a pro. Allowed just a 56% completion rate (19th among qualified CB), 261 yds & 1 TD

A fit in PIT?

I try to be as honest as possible. If the league is healthy, you'll be playing with these people for years. Building trust makes future moves more likely.

I'd never talk someone into paying me less than their offer in the scenario you gave. But I talk to them about their team more than mine.

BTSC Mock Draft Monday: Exploring a trade back It’s Monday, which means it’s time for another mock draft. Today, what if the Steelers don’t stick at pick 21?

Open to being dead wrong, but Allen just strikes me as the jack of all trades, master of none, average athleticism guy that will have a long career...

And Singleton strikes me as the freaky athletic guy who doesn't get enough of the little things right and gets nicked up a ton

Yeah, I get that. Just think this draft has a ton of talented slot guys in Day 2/3 that if they wanna get a higher end X or Z early in the draft i support it. And Cooper moved to slot in 25 and dominated fwiw.

Slot/wide versatile later:
- Skyler Bell
-Lewis Bond
- Kevin Coleman Jr.
- Eric McAlister

I think PIT need to go WR in the first 2 rounds because there are roughly 12 WRs that could go that quickly and then there is a massive tier drop. Tho I do want 2 from the draft

I'm not against 2 big wrs, especially cuz DK isn't really a contested ball guy. Cooper, Brazzell, Lane my 3 faves for PIT

Watching Antonio Williams and I can't help but feel like he's a slighter built Amari Rodgers with how he was used and playstyle... but AW was used even more in the slot (78% career), especially in '22 and '25 (93% in both‼️)

Fun in college, but I think I'm moving him down my board
