6th Round: Isaiah Coulter

Wide receiver, Rhode Island

The Steelers are no stranger to drafting small-school wide receivers, and while they’ve never targeted a Rhode Island player, he’s one that they could take a chance on. Isaiah Coutler is an athletic player and a smooth mover at the wide receiver position – much like Diontae Johnson from a season ago.

Coulter enters the draft as a junior, and in 2019, he earned 72 receptions for 1,039 yards and 8 touchdowns. At the NFL Combine, the 6’2” receiver ran a 4.45 and impressed in his explosion drills (36” vertical, 128” broad jump).

The Steelers have a severe lack of quality depth at the wide receiver position, so they may look to address the need before this point in the draft. If not, Coulter is a productive, small-school receiver who could quietly be on their radar. He’s a player who can get open with solid route running and could be a threat down the field.
