Though the Pittsburgh Steelers showed interest in Western Kentucky WR Malachi Corley, they should thank the New York Jets for grabbing him in the second round. If they weren’t interested, or if Corley was off the board, WR Roman Wilson is probably wearing green and white right now. And Pittsburgh would’ve been left without either.
In behind-the-scenes footage of the Jets’ war room on the second night of the draft, GM Joe Douglas worked the phones to trade up for a wideout. His main target was Corley, who he eventually landed. But Wilson was also in play.
