The Pittsburgh Steelers' No.1 pick will be donning this brand new NFL Draft cap on April 26.

This year's draft hat pays homage to the city of Pittsburgh, with then words "Steel City" accompanying the team's historic logo.

Pittsburgh's new draft hat will probably be worn by a defender, as the Steelers are expected to draft a defensive player in the first round for the sixth consecutive season. Specifically, the Steelers are expected to use their 28th overall pick on either a linebacker, cornerback or a safety. One name that keeps coming up is Boise State inside linebacker Leighton Vander Esch, who met with the Steelers at the team's facility this past weekend.

Pittsburgh is also expected to add another talented receiver to the team via the draft. Speaking during the NFL Combine, GM Kevin Colbert, who drafted current Steelers' receivers Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Martavis Bryant, explained his criteria when assessing wide receiver talent in the weeks leading up to the NFL Draft.

"You want big, fast, the ability to get in and out of a break," Colbert said. "The ability to catch the ball in competitive situations. The ability to run after the catch and the ability to block. It’s really not that complicated when you boil it down. They come in all different sizes and shapes. They have different talents that make them unique amongst themselves, but there’s not really one specific pattern that we look for."

Colbert then named the most important detail he looks at when evaluating a receiver.

"The ability to catch when covered or in traffic. In the NFL, you area always going to be covered or in traffic unless there’s a coverage bust. So you have to have that ability, and only certain guys can do that."

The ability to make combat catches can make or break a season. Without Bryant, and with Brown double and triple covered, Pittsburgh's other receivers failed to make tough catches down the stretch in Pittsburgh's loss to New England in the 2016 AFC Championship Game. The shortcomings of the team's secondary receivers in that game motivated the team to select Smith-Schuster in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Smith-Schuster quickly rewarded the Steelers, leading all rookie receivers with 917 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns last season. Bryant returned from his yearlong suspension to catch 50 passes for 603 yards and three scores, while Brown led all NFL receivers with 1,533 receiving yards while scoring nine touchdowns.

But after another disappointing playoff exit, Colbert will look to find the team's next great wideout while adding more depth to the best receiving corps in the NFL.

“Whenever there’s depth at any position, it helps," Colbert said. "Depth at any position is important. Again, it doesn’t mean that we wouldn’t take a player just because we have great players, because you can never have enough good players at any position.”
