Steelers Emphasize Another Need; Grab WR Roman Wilson With 84th Overall Pick In 2024 NFL Draft

This is yet another solid pick by Khan in 2024. Wilson may have not been looked at as one of the top-tier receivers in the draft class, but put up impressive numbers in a Michigan offense that relied on the run in 2023. The wideout caught 48 passes for 789 yards and 12 touchdowns. Knowing that he was coached by Jim Harbaugh doesn't hurt, either.

Wilson, in total, hauled in 107 passes for a total of 1,707 yards and 20 touchdowns during his four-year collegiate career with the Wolverines. Pittsburgh has a knack for successfully picking up pass-catchers outside of the first round. Wilson will now have to live up to that expectation and quickly become a feature in the Steelers' offense.

Steelers' Start To The 2024 NFL Draft Has Been A Home Run On All Levels

Pittsburgh has taken advantage of the board up to this point and the fact that Fautanu, Frazier and Wilson will all wear the black and gold in 2024 is an incredible outcome for the front office. Barring a trade, the franchise still holds the 98th overall pick and will pick once more in the third round. It doesn't seem like the team is straying away from drafting the positions that have widely been acknowledged as the biggest holes on the roster.

Defensive line and cornerback still remain concerns, but the receiving core is far from solidified, even with the Wilson pick. Overall, Steeler Nation has to be ecstatic about how the draft has gone up to this point. The best part is that Khan hasn't had to make any aggressive moves up the board, despite handfuls of teams giving up capital to leap forward.
