ANNOUNCEMENT: T. J. Watt Ends Relationship with Pittsburgh Steelers today after finding out he was…..

By all accounts, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2024 NFL Draft was a huge success.

On offense, Pittsburgh drafted three players who will likely start this season.

On defense, the Steelers drafted three promising prospects who are expected to add quality depth while also contributing to their special teams units.

As great as the Steelers’ draft was, there were a few things they possibly could have done better.

Let’s take a look at the biggest thing Pittsburgh did not do during the draft, along with the one thing it definitely got right.

Before we get started, here’s a refresher of who the Steelers selected in this year’s draft.

The Steelers are still in the same position they were a week ago when it comes to wanting to add a veteran, top-flight receiver to their roster.

Pittsburgh reportedly tried to trade for Deebo Samuel, but it wasn’t willing to meet San Francisco’s asking price.

Pittsburgh didn’t acquire Samuel (or any other veteran wideout) during the draft, but they did select former Michigan wideout Roman Wilson in the third round.

Wilson will definitely help, but the Steelers still have some work to do when it comes to rounding out their receiving corps. Fortunately for them, they still have some options.

Tyler Boyd, the longtime Cincinnati Bengals wideout, is still available.

There’s also the chance that the 49ers are still open to possibly trading either Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk.

The Broncos may be willing to trade veteran Courtland Sutton for the right price.

If it was me, I’d pursue Sutton or Boyd. Boyd is a free agent, so they could sign him without having to give up anything.

Personally, I’d rather have Sutton, who already has a connection with Russell Wilson dating to their two years together in Denver.

Sutton is also coming off a 2023 season that saw him catch 10 touchdowns, whereas Boyd is coming off of one the least productive seasons of his career.
