The Steelers official site reports on the players that the team has spoken to in terms of draft prospects:
So far, the Steelers have had 11 players in for visits – three offensive linemen, three cornerbacks, two linebackers, one defensive lineman, one safety and one wide receiver.
On March 31, the Steelers brought in cornerback Nolan Carroll, 6-foot, 200-pounds, from Maryland; cornerback Kareem Jackson, 5-11, 190, from Alabama; cornerback Kyle Wilson, 5-10, 190, from Boise State; wide receiver Joe Webb, 6-3, 223, from Alabama-Birmingham; and linebacker Albert McClellan, 6-1, 247, from Marshall.
Webb played quarterback in college where he was a two-year starter, but he will try to make it in the NFL as a receiver. He first worked out at receiver during the week of practices at the Senior Bowl.
On March 29, the Steelers visited with defensive lineman Michael Neal, 6-3, 294, from Purdue; guard Chris DeGeare, 6-4, 325, from Wake Forest; safety Darrell Stuckey, 6-0, 205, from Kansas; and linebacker Navorro Bowman, 6-2, 242, from Penn State.
On March 30, it was guard Jacques McClendon, 6-3, 324, from Tennessee; and tackle Rodger Saffold, 6-5, 315, from Indiana.

Kyle Wilson in the first round would be a solid pickup

The only thing that I worry about with Kyle Wilson is the height. At 5-10, he is the same height as William Gay and Deshea Townsend and may have the same problem matching up with tall receivers. He has really benefitted from a lot of hype since the senior bowl and I think that he will be taken a lot higher than he should be.
Wake Forest defensive back Brandon Ghee and South Carolina linebacker Eric Norwood visited on Thursday, April 1.
I like Ghee a lot as a 2nd/3rd round pick. He is 6 ft tall and ran a 4.45 40-yard dash at the combine.
I think Wilson is a better player right now than some other guys like Ghee and Perrish Cox, but I also think that his ceiling is much lower and guys like Ghee and Cox will improve greatly once they have worked with NFL coaches.
