It feels pretty safe to conclude that the Pittsburgh Steelers would like to pick up a skill position player today, either at wide receiver or at running back. My preference would be for a wide receiver, but if the running back doesn’t come at 49, it’s hard for me to buy into bringing in yet another third-round talent. They already have a heaping helping of mid-round running back talents.
A running back is a position for which you could more easily plug and play as a year-one contributor. Wide receivers can take more time. For every JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson, there is a James Washington and Antonio Brown.
