The Pittsburgh Steelers will feel the weight of their 2022 draft picks for a while. It’s too early to judge some of them after just two seasons, but the book is already closed on first-round pick Kenny Pickett’s time in Pittsburgh.
Missing on a first-round pick stings. It was a weak quarterback class, and the argument can certainly be made that the Steeler personnel weighted team needs too much when taking Pickett and should have instead just gone with whoever they thought the best player available was.
However, they made up for it in the second round, taking WR George Pickens, who looks like a steal and has established himself as the clear wide receiver in Pittsburgh.
