The Pittsburgh Steelers showed a lot of interest in wide receivers during the pre-draft process. They were no doubt set to draft one anyway, but one can’t help but wonder if they had the sense that the Oakland Raiders might escalate their trade offer for Martavis Bryant enough to coax them into pulling the trigger.
Making that trade may have influenced the Steelers to take a wide receiver higher than they might otherwise have. Maybe they would have done the same thing anyway. But the bottom line is that there are really only two high draft picks they showed a lot of interest in during the pre-draft process.
