The Pittsburgh Steelers have been advised to pass on this first-round cornerback.
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers will have a wide range of options available to them when it becomes time to make the 20th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft but there is one player they should avoid, according to Bleacher Report's Alex Ballentine.
Ballentine thinks Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry is a good player and will be available for the Steelers to select at No. 20, but that"The Pittsburgh Steelers may be tempted to pair the Alabama product with Joey Porter Jr. if he’s still on the board at No. 20," Ballentine said."However, the Steelers were 10th in passer rating allowed last season with a combination of Porter, Patrick Peterson and Levi Wallace manning the cornerback spots.
McKinstry totalled 93 total tackles, 5 for a loss, two interceptions and 23 passes defended in 42 games over three seasons with the Crimson Tide while also adding value as a punt returner at times.
The Steelers have lots of needs to fill in with their first few picks in the NFL Draft but cornerback will have to wait while they fill out the offensive line.
