The Pittsburgh Steelers have already earned praise for their 2024 NFL Draft haul from analysts like Mel Kiper Jr. and Dane Brugler, ranking the team’s draft toward the top of the NFL. During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show today, NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah talked about how much he loved the Steelers draft, and he had particular praise for the third-round selection of Payton Wilson.
“If you tell me this is a one-contract player, even if you told me you’re gonna get three years out of him, I’d rather have three years of him than eight years from the guys that were on the board at this point in time,” Jeremiah said about Pittsburgh’s selection of Wilson, a player who he previously called a first-round talent.
