It is more or less a consensus opinion when you look at the biggest “draft steals” following the 2024 NFL Draft – the Steelers got a huge bargain when they selected NC State LB Payton Wilson in the third round. Viewed by many as a first-round talent, he slid all the way to the end of the third round as a result of some medical concerns that reportedly had 22 teams viewing him as a one-contract player.
According to The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, Wilson is a “steal” regardless of his medicals.
“I think Payton Wilson will be a huge steal for them,” Feldman said in a clip posted on YouTube by NFL on ESPN.
