Analyst Says Steelers’ Recent History When Drafting WRs Influenced DK Metcalf Trade

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a lot of talented, interesting characters at the wide receiver position over the years. That said, they haven’t drafted particularly well at the position recently. Even though this year’s draft class is relatively deep at the position, the Steelers opted for a major upgrade via trade instead. Yahoo Sports’ Jori Epstein thinks the Steelers’ recent track record in the draft influenced them to make the bold trade for DK Metcalf.

“When I look at who the Steelers have taken at receiver recently, it’s been a while since I think we should feel great about the way the Steelers have drafted at receiver,” Epstein said, via the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast.
