The Pittsburgh Steelers, by and large, got better this offseason, with upgrades to their quarterback room and defense, but their wide receiver room took a hit with the team trading away Diontae Johnson.ESPN looked at their projected ceiling and floor and had Pittsburgh’s ceiling at 11-6, a one-game improvement over their 10-6 finish last year, while the team’s floor was 5-12.
Brooke Pryor wrote that the team’s wide receiver depth is the biggest X factor in determining whether they hit their ceiling or floor. Pittsburgh’s wide receiver depth will get immensely better if the team is able to land WR Brandon Aiyuk from the San Francisco 49ers, but if that doesn’t happen, then the team will roll with Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, and Scotty Miller as their top options behind George Pickens.
