One year after finding a clear, legitimate answer at the cornerback position in rookie Joey Porter Jr., the Pittsburgh Steelers enter the evaluation cycle ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft with a glaring hole once again at cornerback.
For Pro Football Focus, the cornerback position is the Steelers’ biggest draft need coming out of the 2023 season.
Porter developed into a No. 1 lockdown corner for the Steelers, taking on the top assignments weekly and more than holding his own. Behind him though, the Steelers have issues. Patrick Peterson struggled at times at the cornerback position in 2023 and looked much better overall when he was at safety.
