Former NFL GM Believes Steelers Cleary Upgraded WR1, But Remain In Same Situation As Last Season

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a significant splash this offseason with the trade for wide receiver DK Metcalf, giving the franchise a bona fide No. 1 receiver.

The belief was that Metcalf would pair with George Pickens to form a dynamic duo at receiver as the franchise continued to try and figure out the quarterback position. But trading Pickens to the Cowboys after the 2025 NFL Draft changed that dynamic and seemingly put the Steelers right back where they were last season: without much depth or production at receiver behind a clear No. 1.
