Which round Steelers should target each offensive position?

Receiver
Fourth Round
Wide receiver isn’t much of a need for the Steelers this season, but this class is so insanely deep that the team may keep up their tradition of adding a new receiver every year in the draft. While the team wouldn’t need a fourth-round receiver based on how deep they are at the position, this will likely be where the best value is at. With this class being so deep, plenty of quality options will fall through the cracks. Guys that would normally be day two picks will likely still be available in the fourth round.
The same argument could be made for even later round guys. The reason I think the fourth round makes the most sense is the Steelers could feasibly get a receiver there that ultimately starts down the road. While a decent depth option could be had later, the fourth round will feature the options that could have gone on day two but got lost in the shuffle due to this class being as deep as it is.
Seth Williams, Anthony Schwartz, and Josh Imatorbhebhe highlight just a few of the names that should be around in the fourth. There are plenty of others that would make sense as well. This round appears to be the sweet spot for teams that want to get a shot at a long-term option for a day three draft pick. While not a need, the value in the fourth may be too good to pass up for the Steelers.
