Normally choosing the Pittsburgh Steelers’ best offseason moves is like an eye test. Which is better – one or two? There weren’t a lot of choices.
But 2022 has been different. It’s been the team’s busiest offseason they’ve ever had. A new quarterback(s). A new general manager. Their most aggressive free agency. Pro Football Focus named the best singular offseason moves for each team and landed on Pittsburgh’s tried and true method, the draft, as where the Steelers made their best choice.
Brad Spielberger wrote drafting WR George Pickens was the best move Pittsburgh made this year, saying:
“No team has done a better job over the last two decades of finding wide receiver talent outside of the first round, developing these players into upper echelon contributors on their rookie contracts and most often letting them walk in free agency as they rinse and repeat.
