Two of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ top four tight ends departed in free agency, creating a depth concern that could push the position higher on their draft board than expected. Adding depth could be viewed as a luxury pick, but Pittsburgh has 12 picks for the first time since 1992 and that luxury could quickly become a necessity if Pat Freiermuth or Darnell Washington miss time.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac thinks the Steelers could draft a tight end relatively early next month.
“Not surprised if they take a TE on day 2, so long as they keep all of their picks,” Dulac wrote in his weekly Steelers chat.
