The Steelers are hosting three pre-draft visitors today: <\/p>\n

Memphis OT Travis Burke
LSU LB Harold Perkins
Texas CB Malik Muhammad<\/p>\n

We already had Burke down for a pre-draft visit<\/a>, as he told SI\u2019s Justin Melo he was visiting with the Steelers. Perkins\u2019 visit was also previously reported<\/a> by NFL draft insider Ryan Fowler. Muhammad is a new name, and this group of three brings the Steelers up to 24 pre-draft visitors, and 27 when including local visits.<\/p>\n

All three project as mid-round prospects. Burke has been a riser among the offensive line group and he has versatility to play both tackle and guard. In our scouting report, Ryan Paglia praised his run blocking and called Burke a \u201ctrue mauler.\u201d He has impressive size at 6086 and 325 pounds, making him one of the biggest offensive linemen in the draft.<\/p>\n

Perkins served in multiple roles at LSU. At times, he lined up off the edge and rushed the passer and also played a STAR role. However, he\u2019s likely going to be an off-ball linebacker in the NFL despite measuring in at 6010, 223 pounds. Ryan Paglia gave Perkins a 7.8 (spot starter) grade in our scouting report<\/a> and compared him favorably to Zach Baun, the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 standout linebacker.<\/p>\n

Muhammad is a potential Day 2 option, and he\u2019s one of the better cornerbacks after the first crop of projected Round 1 and Round 2 players. Last year at Texas, he had two interceptions and four passes defensed. Our scouting report was high on Muhammad<\/a>, giving him an 8.7 (long-time starter) grade with Ryan Paglia comparing him to a young Marcus Peters.<\/p>\n

The Steelers have shown plenty of interest in corners who could fall out of the first round, also bringing in San Diego State\u2019s Chris Johnson, as well as Washington\u2019s Ephesians Prysock and Tacario Davis for pre-draft visits. Muhammad is closer to Davis in terms of where he\u2019s likely going to be drafted, and he could be an option for the Steelers with one of their four Day 2 picks. Perkins makes sense as an uber-athletic linebacker to help add depth to a position that needs it, especially with Patrick Queen a free agent after 2026.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Burke is a developmental tackle prospect who could be worth a flier with Broderick Jones and Dylan Cook both free agents after 2026, assuming the team doesn\u2019t pick up Jones\u2019 fifth-year option.<\/p>\n

The Steelers will likely wrap up their pre-draft visits next week.<\/p>\n
