Heitritter: Top 2026 NFL Draft WRs Steelers Should Watch

Heading into the 2025 season, you would be hard-pressed to find a Pittsburgh Steelers fan who wouldn’t agree that the team’s top current need is at the quarterback position. With just Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Skylar Thompson on the depth chart, the team lacks a proven option for the upcoming season and the future.

We previously highlighted the top quarterback prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft class heading into the summer. However, another position that needs to have a spotlight shined on it this coming offseason is at wide receiver. Sure, the team went out and acquired DK Metcalf and gave him a lucrative contract extension to lock him in to Pittsburgh for the foreseeable future.
