They had a plan, the draft, but it didn't fall their way, agree it isnt a complete plan as it shoudld have.
Counting on a rookie WR was never a valid option, as we're seeing with Roman Wilson's inability to see the field.
It's been beyond frustrating seeing receivers like Hopkins, Cooper and DJ being traded to the Steelers competition in the AFC for basically peanuts in terms of draft capital while the Steelers do nothing.
Perhaps they have more confidence in Austin and Jefferson than fans do, and they have performed a lot better with Russell Wilson at QB, but it still feels like they need someone else behind Pickens.
Still, I rather have Jackson as 2nd CB than Johnson as 2nd WR.
Debatable, as they probably would have brought someone else in for CB2 had they not made the trade.
Jackson is definitely better than what they've had there, but I'm not sure how good he or the secondary have been overall this season.
They've given up a lot of passing yards despite playing behind a strong rush.
Though the Steelers passing game has been a lot better in recent weeks, it would be a lot more dynamic with DJ as the WR2 and Austin inside.
Also, if Pickens were to have to miss a few games, I would have felt much better about DJ being elevated to top dog than Austin or Jefferson.
