Study: Is The Steelers’ Need For A No. 2 Wide Receiver Being Overblown?

The Pittsburgh Steelers did a great job plugging all the biggest holes on their roster ahead of the 2024 season during free agency and the draft, but many agree that they did not do enough at wide receiver. George Pickens has a chance to solidify himself as a top receiver in the league, but the lack of a WR2 across from him could bring unwanted attention Pickens’ way and make it more difficult for him to make an impact.
