It’s clear the Pittsburgh Steelers need to focus on adding a No. 2 wide receiver this offseason, and one of the best ways to do so might be through the NFL Draft.
The Steelers currently hold the No. 21 pick in the first round of the draft, which could be a prime opportunity for a wide receiver to fall into their hands.
NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah published a mock draft on Tuesday, in which he has the Steelers selecting Washington wide receiver Denzel Boston at No. 21.
“Boston makes too much sense here,” Jeremiah wrote. “The Steelers would have two power forwards on the outside with the rookie playing opposite DK Metcalf.”
Boston played four seasons for the Huskies, recording 132 receptions for 1,781 yards and 20 touchdowns over the course of 43 games.

The Steelers could really benefit from acquiring a player like Boston to help alleviate some pressure off Metcalf and serve as a reliable target for whoever will be playing quarterback in Pittsburgh this upcoming season.
