Steelers NFL mock draft tracker: Would Brian Thomas Jr. be a good No. 2 WR next to George Pickens?

North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

Host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette insider Brian Batko recap the week in Steelers NFL mock drafts. Are top wideout prospects like LSU's Brian Thomas Jr. plus Adonai Mitchell and Xavier Worthy of Texas good fits as No. 2 receivers across from George Pickens, especially if GM Omar Khan doesn't make a move on rumored interest in names like Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and Justin Jefferson on the trade market? Or are projected later-round options like Florida's Ricky Pearsall and Alabama's Jermaine Burton better fits with what the team is trying to do in first-year Arthur Smith's new offense?

Our duo tackles those questions and more. Would drafting Oregon C Jackson Powers-Johnson in the first round limit the Steelers to find impact at other positions of need too much, especially when names like West Virginia's Zach Frazier could be available later? Or has center been a weakness for too long not to address in a major way in 2024? Do names like South Carolina's Spencer Rattler, Florida State's Jordan Travis and Tennessee's Joe Milton make sense as later-round QB options? And has cornerback faded as a need to be addressed in the first round?
