The Pittsburgh Steelers made a major splash this offseason by acquiring star wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr., but the offensive rebuild might not be finished. According to a new mock draft, the team could be poised to add another explosive weapon to their arsenal.
Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski predicts the Steelers will use the 21st overall pick on USC's dynamic wideout, Makai Lemon. This move would give Pittsburgh a formidable trio, pairing Lemon's skill set with Pittman and the established DK Metcalf.
Lemon arrives with a prolific college resume, having amassed 2,008 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns over three seasons at USC. His potential addition is seen as a way to fully unlock the Steelers' passing attack, providing their quarterback with a diverse and dangerous set of targets.
Interestingly, this selection could also signal future flexibility for the Steelers' roster. Adding a high-caliber rookie like Lemon might make the organization more comfortable exploring trade possibilities involving DK Metcalf, either after the draft or later in the season, as they continue to shape their offense for the future.
