Steelers’ George Pickens can be the next alpha WR1 in the NFL

The most common narrative surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers at this point in the offseason is that they’re still in need of a true WR1. Fans have postulated just about every possible trade to send a big name to the 412, whether it be 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk, Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf or Commanders receiver Terry McLaurin.

However badly the Steelers could use a more trustworthy and experienced depth in the wide receiver room isn’t up for debate. Pittsburgh’s reliance on Van Jefferson or rookie Roman Wilson in the slot probably won’t cut it in the quest to be truly competitive.
