Over the years, the Pittsburgh Steelers have established a strong track record in successfully drafting wide receivers, consistently bringing in Pro Bowl-caliber players since the late 90s. This trend has continued into recent years, evident in the current wide receiver depth chart featuring Diontae Johnson, a former Pro Bowler, and George Pickens, who amassed 1140 yards in the previous season, both of whom were drafted by the Steelers.
In the upcoming 2024 draft class, the Steelers might aim to uphold this tradition by considering the addition of Brenden Rice, the son of NFL legend Jerry Rice. Despite the presence of two highly talented receivers in Johnson and Pickens, the team might still explore the possibility of securing another receiver through the draft.
Despite surviving the initial round of cuts, Allen Robinson’s future with the team remains uncertain, suggesting that he may not be on the roster for an extended period. Consequently, the Steelers may find themselves in need of a WR3, prompting discussions about potential choices in the 2024 draft.
According to The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo, he has compiled a big board for each of the Steelers’ first three picks in the upcoming 2024 draft.
