4. Kyu Blu Kelly could interest the Steelers around the third round

Cornerback is another position of need for Pittsburgh, but it is not the biggest hole that needs to be filled. Still, there is a ton of uncertainty at this position in the secondary, especially with Cam Sutton still needing to be re-signed. Perhaps waiting until the later portion of day two of the draft would be the wiser decision.

The Steelers are notorious for their inability to draft and develop at the cornerback position. It's not like they have not been successful at all, but they have missed in the draft with some high selections at the position before. Waiting until the third round to address this need might be the wisest choice as they have other issues that need attention first.

Kyu Blu Kelly could be someone that could interest the black and gold come draft time. He had an amazing week down at the Senior Bowl and played sticky coverage against every receiver he went up against. This cornerback is a quick riser right now and could go earlier than the third round if he keeps up his current rate. Kelly might have one of the best draft stocks on the rise right now when compared to where he was expected to go and where he might go currently.
