When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded Diontae Johnson in March, wide receiver instantly skyrocketed as a major priority for the team to address. While the Steelers signed a pair of free agents – Van Jefferson and Quez Watkins – to one-year deals, they didn’t add anyone who really moved the needle in that position group. Heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, wide receiver is a substantial need for the Steelers, and hints from Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan, as well as the organization’s draft history, lend many to believe that the team will address wide receiver in the second- to fourth-round range.
