‘They Need An Impact Receiver’: Daniel Jeremiah, Bucky Brooks Say Steelers Should Target WR Brian Thomas Jr.

Following the trade that sent Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a large need at wide receiver opposite George Pickens. There are also needs along the offensive line, and the Steelers could very well use their first two picks on tackle and center, but where does that leave them at receiver?

Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are both on one-year deals, and they came very cheap. In theory, that should have allowed the Steelers to ensure they would have an adequate arsenal of offensive weapons to work with. Pickens had his first 1000-yard season last year, but he had the benefit of lining up opposite Johnson, who excels at getting open.
