The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to draft a wide receiver. That much has become very clear with their recent additions of Van Jefferson and Quez Watkins in free agency following the trade that shipped WR Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers. The two new receivers are lower-level additions, so the Steelers still have a large need for a starter opposite George Pickens. Former NFL GM and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum released a first-round mock draft on Tuesday morning and has the Steelers landing a huge weapon for the offense, Texas WR Adonai Mitchell.
Here is what he wrote about Mitchell:
“The Steelers have dramatically overhauled their QB position with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, but they also recently traded Diontae Johnson and could use a standout receiver opposite George Pickens.
