Steelers' Diontae Johnson Trade Mean First Round WR? What's Omar Khan's Plan Behind George Pickens?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' trade sending Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers opens an obvious need for a highly talented wide receiver. Does that mean Omar Khan would draft a receiver in the first round of the NFL Draft? Chris Carter dives in on an early look at free agency options like Mike Williams or Michael Thomas, as well as the NFL Draft prospects who would make the most sense. But, with Arthur Smith's new offense, will wide receiver be as big a premium of a position of importance as it has been in past years?

The Steelers don't have a star quarterback right now and will be running the ball more. But receivers like Ladd McConkey, Adonai Mitchell and Roman Wilson would make for interesting additions to the roster.

Also, Chris discusses what the new cornerback plan might be after the addition of Donte Jackson as a partner for Joey Porter Jr. Will the Steelers still look at drafting a cornerback in the first round?
