As the 2019 NFL Draft live from Nashville, Tennessee approaches, we'll be continuing to take a deeper look each week into the potential first-round picks the Pittsburgh Steelers could draft.
Next up, Kelvin Harmon (WR) NC State.
As the back and forth speculation builds surrounding what will happen with the Steelers and No. 1 wideout Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh could find themselves competing for their 7th Lombardi Trophy next season without him. If Brown ends up getting traded, Pittsburgh would need to fill that void by drafting a young and talented wide receiver early. CBS Sports has Harmon as their 5th ranked draft-eligible receiver. Check out his 2018 stats here:
With a probable returning receiving cast of JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Washington, Eli Rogers, and Ryan Switzer, Harmon could find himself in a wide open battle for a starting job as a rookie in Pittsburgh. With his size at 6'3", he could bode well for Big Ben as a reliable target in the red zone and as a consistent deep threat.
