The Steelers have drafted wide receivers a lot over the years. You have to go back before the 1965 pick of Roy Jefferson to find a three year span without a 4th round or higher pick spent on a wide receiver, and the Steelers have drafted 27 wide receivers in the first 4 rounds in the last 32 years. The last 4 drafts have seen a top 70 pick spent on a wide receiver every year.
Heading into 2021, the Steelers have three experienced wide receivers still on rookie deals, including the two receivers that led the team in receiving yards the last two seasons, and Chase Claypool, who had one of the best rookie seasons in franchise history.
