The Pittsburgh Steelers needed to draft a wide receiver in the worst way this spring after trading longtime starter Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, leaving them with just George Pickens as the only notable name left in the room with extensive experience and production. They do have Calvin Austin III coming into Year 3 and signed Quez Watkins, Van Jefferson, and Scotty Miller during the offseason, but those options don’t move the needle much to make up for the loss of Johnson.
They managed to snag Michigan WR Roman Wilson with the 84th pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, landing an athletic playmaker who had just helped the Wolverines secure a national championship.
