Washington cornerback Marcus Peters is among three players visiting the Steelers on Thursday. He is joined by Stanford cornerback Alex Carter and Virginia linebacker Max Valles.

Peters may be the most gifted cornerback in the draft and is a sure-fire first-round talent. But he also totes baggage after multiple run-ins with the Washington coaching staff last season ultimately led to his dismissal from the team.

The Steelers have not taken a cornerback in the first round since 1997 when they selected Chad Scott. Peters' visit makes it appear in this season of smokescreens that they are open to the possibility of drafting Peters at No. 22 overall.

Carter is widely projected as a second- or third-round pick. He is the son of former Washington Redskins cornerback Tom Carter.

Valles is the second outside linebacker prospect from Virginia to visit the Steelers in as many days. The 6-5, 251-pounder is not as refined as Cavaliers teammate Eli Harold but he is physically gifted and could come into his own with coaching and patience.
