Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Watch: North Carolina WR Ryan Switzer

Let’s highlight a Steelers Draft target who could provide Antonio Brown some much needed help: North Carolina’s Ryan Switzer.

Following the Steeler’s abysmal offensive performance against the Ravens, it is clear Pittsburgh needs some additional offense firepower. Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell cannot be tasked with carrying the whole offense every week.

The Ravens did an excellent job of containing Pittsburgh’s two main playmakers. Other than a healthy helping of garbage time catches, both Brown and Bell were confined for the entire game.

The next question is who is gonna step up and make contributions aside from Brown and Bell, with extra coverage and loaded boxes eliminating their production.

The Steelers have several intriguing options currently on their roster. Rogers has looked solid at moments, but inconsistent in others. Sammie Coates appeared to be slowly developing into one of the NFL’s best deep threats, but lately has struggled to comfortably reel in passes. Maybe even the return of Ladarius Green could somehow spark this offense?

Nevertheless, the Steelers would be wise to continue to add talent at the offensive skill positions. Notably, finding a viable slot option in the 2017 draft class should be one of their top priorities. A legitimate threat over the middle of the field would force defenses to dedicate less coverage to AB on the outside.

One possible Steelers Draft target who could help open up the Steelers offense is North Carolina WR Ryan Switzer.
