The Steelers met with two more 2019 draft prospects at team facilities on Wednesday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed just two prospects to team facilities once again on Wednesday, hosting LSU offensive lineman Garrett Brumfield and San Jose State tight end Josh Oliver on pre-draft visits.

Brumfield is projected to be a late round pick or possibly to go undrafted, while most experts have Oliver coming off the boards from Round 4 to Round 7. The Steelers have now officially used 24 of their 30 allocated visits, with Dravon Askew-Henry, David Long and Miles Sanders all considered local visitors who do not count against their allowance.

Scouting reports for each player can be found below, along with a highlight video for both prospects.

OL, Garrett Brumfield, LSU

Scouting report from Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network.

“Garrett Brumfield faces a difficult projection to the pros. He’s very tight throughout his frame and struggles significantly with the needed short area quickness and precision needed to be a true asset on the interior. Brumfield won’t inspire in space, but he does have a really heavy anchor that allows him to hold his own against power players on the interior. Brumfield projects as a potential practice squad player but needs to find a lot of extra ROM and quickness to stick in the pros.”

TE, Josh Oliver, San Jose State

Scouting report from Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network.

“Josh Oliver is a pretty dynamic seam threat as a receiving tight end. His skills will be watered down initially on account of his questionable play strength and issues as a blocker. But when given a free release into the second level, Oliver eats up space well and can quickly get behind LBs. Usage as a receiver was pretty versatile, but his general availability is going to require patience and coaching to get him totally up to speed with the complimentary parts of his game.”
