Leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, it was pretty clear that the Pittsburgh Steelers needed to address the wide receiver position. They had added a bunch of lower-level free agents, but the plan opposite George Pickens seemed unclear. With the way the board broke, the Steelers opted to address the offensive line with their first two picks. They finally addressed the position in the third round with Michigan WR Roman Wilson.
There are plenty of reasons to be excited for Wilson, but his smaller stature and his experience being mostly in the slot in college didn’t do much to answer the WR2 questions.
