If the Pittsburgh Steelers are looking to add a wide receiver with their first pick in this year's draft, they may be able to snag one of the top prospects ranked on many draft analysts' boards without needing to move up from pick No. 21.
Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski published a mock draft on Wednesday, predicting that the Steelers will select USC's wide receiver Makai Lemon with the 21st pick.
"The Pittsburgh Steelers already upgraded their group of wide receivers with the acquisition of Michael Pittman Jr. from the Indianapolis Colts. The front office shouldn't stop there," Sobleski wrote.
"USC's Makai Lemon can complete the group and provide a different skill set that will complement DK Metcalf and Pittman quite well, giving the Steelers' starting quarterback the best possible opportunity to get the offense off the ground."
