The Pittsburgh Steelers added an extra pick during the 2025 NFL Draft—and still didn’t take a wide receiver. While I’m sure they didn’t actively avoid the position, it’s pretty clear they didn’t view it as a major priority. Many on the outside considered it a top need, even a first-round option, but the draft is over, and none of the Steelers’ seven draft picks will be working with Zach Azzanni.
Of course, the Steelers used their second-round draft pick to acquire WR DK Metcalf, which is a pretty glaring caveat. Essentially, they invested one of their most valuable resources in a clear-cut No.
