What happened: Adam Schefter reported that Indianapolis wants a third-round pick for Downs. Brian Thomas Jr. and Ladd McConkey are also being discussed as possible receiver additions for Pittsburgh, while Alontae Taylor, Charvarius Ward and Donte Jackson are cornerback options.

Why it matters: Ward and Jackson are both 30, making the value of a short-term addition a key consideration. The Steelers' 2026 draft class has already produced early contributors in Germie Bernard, Robert Spears-Jennings and Gabriel Rubio, giving Pittsburgh reason to weigh the cost of future picks.

What to watch: Pittsburgh's choice is whether an available receiver or cornerback warrants the draft capital required.
