NFL Draft Rumors: Steelers Eye OL at No. 20; Feel They're 'Elite' at Finding WR Later

Despite their need for a starting wide receiver across from George Pickens, the Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly looking to solidify the trenches early in the 2024 NFL draft.

According to ESPN's Matt Miller, a team source recently said, "I can't tell you the player, but I can tell you it'll be an offensive lineman," regarding the Steelers' No. 20 overall pick.

While wide receiver is a need after trading Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, Miller noted that he gets the sense the Steelers believe they are "elite" at identifying and drafting quality wide receivers outside the first round.
