The Pittsburgh Steelers know they have a screaming need at wide receiver, by GM Omar Khan’s own admission. While he didn’t explicitly say it, they spent last offseason trying to land a big fish via trade. They failed and ultimately ended up with Mike Williams at the trade deadline.
It wasn’t enough, and they know they can’t find themselves in the same predicament again. During the NFL Scouting Combine, Khan addressed the Steelers’ wide receiver position, and how to tackle it.
“You evaluate all of it, and sometimes you might do both,” he said of looking at free agency and the draft.
