If the Pittsburgh Steelers are concerned about their wide receiver depth after trading George Pickens, they won’t be telling you. Indeed, it’s rather rare for any team, especially a team after the draft, to talk openly about roster holes. But when you trade a starter in May, it’s going to take more than words to convince people you’re serious.
After the Steelers traded George Pickens, GM Omar Khan insisted they “feel good” about their wide receiver room. He rejected comparisons to the previous season, before which they traded a starter and never replaced him. Despite making largely lateral moves since then, he claims they feel they are in a much stronger place.
