The Steelers might be interested in drafting a cornerback at No. 17, and there's been a lot of speculation about Penn State's Joey Porter Jr. But if he's not available at that spot, what else could the Steelers do at cornerback in the draft?
The team will be doing its due diligence by bringing in a pair of high-profile cornerbacks for top 30 visits, according to reports Tuesday.
One visit has been scheduled with Mississippi State's Emmanuel Forbes.

Vikings
He said every team has reached out and at least one other visit is scheduled too.
Forbes is rated as the 40th best prospect available and a potential second-round pick at NFL Mock Draft Database, although some mock drafts have him going in the first round. The Steelers pick 32nd and 49th.
Forbes (6-foot-1, 166 pounds) holds the FBS career record with six interceptions returned for touchdowns and had 14 interceptions for his career.
The other visit is scheduled for Miami's Tyrique Stevenson.

Stevenson (6-0, 198) is also projected to be a second-round pick and is rated as the 62nd best player available by NFL Mock Draft Database.
He played his first two seasons at Georgia, then his final two at Miami. He finished with three career interceptions.
