I think we will be taking a WR before day 3, and would even say there’s a good probability we take one with our first or second pick. DeCosta even said himself that you always have to get a lottery ticket with WR. I think we continue to do that. I would go for a speedy WR to continue to stretch these defenses. With Jackson and Brown, adding another speedy guy to threaten the backend will make it hard to defend us like the Chiefs.
its odd that we never took more hits at the position given how we seemed to have that philosophy at almost every other position - we almost always take a corner, we almost always grab a DL, we almost always grab an OL, we almost always grab an EDGE
the only position we never really take yearly shots on were WR and LB - linebacker partly because we always had a good one and were great at finding undrafted guys and wr we just never took a swing at but ive been advocating for over and over - if you dont take one you have literally no shot at finding one - obviously the higher the capital the better too
steelers have had a decent wr corps the entire time ive been watching the NFL basically because they take swings almost every year at that position
we always try and stock up on volume of picks so there's no reason for us not to take all those positions:
unless a draft was weird i'd advocate taking at least 1 DL, 1 OL, 1 WR, 1 DB, 1 EDGE basically every draft - like this year id understand if we dont grab a DL on day 3 for example
with the depth of this draft though id be absolutely shocked if we didnt take a WR - and looking at Matt Miller's most recent mock there looks like there's going to be high quality wr prospects going even on day 3
