After an aggressive offseason in which the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Russell Wilson and Patrick Queen while trading Kenny Pickett, the team made its intentions clear during the 2024 NFL Draft. The Steelers took three offensive linemen with their first four picks, with the only non-lineman being Michigan wideout Roman Wilson. In the later rounds, Pittsburgh added defensive depth at key positions.

Despite addressing many of their immediate needs, the Steelers still have a few holes on the roster. Here are three agents Pittsburgh should pursue after the 2024 NFL Draft

Tyler Boyd (WR), Cincinnati Bengals

With the trade of Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, an all-ready meager Steelers wide receiver corps became even thinner. Pittsburgh lost a guy who put up nearly 900 yards per season in his five years at Heinz Field and did so despite consistently underwhelming quarterback play. Johnson's replacement is rookie third-round pick Roman Wilson of Michigan.

Wilson is an explosive player with 4.39 speed and he led all receivers in this draft class with an 85% separation rate against man coverage. The Michigan pass-catcher will immediately be in contention for a starting spot in Pittsburgh, but the Steelers still lack a proven receiver opposite George Pickens. No WR outside Pickens or Johnson had more than 300 receiving yards last year.  The team addressed this need by adding Quez Watkins (142 yards with the Philadelphia Eagles) and Van Jefferson (combined 208 yards with the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams).

Tyler Boyd is the clear number-one remaining free-agent wideout and is an experienced player with a consistent record of productivity. Boyd is a solid underneath threat who has surpassed 600 receiving yards in each of the last six seasons. He is also a native of the Pittsburgh area. While he will turn 30 in the fall, Tyler Boyd is still a solid receiver who can hold down the WR2 role until Roman Wilson is ready to shine.

Steven Nelson (CB), Houston Texans

Pittsburgh's front office addressed most of the team's needs in the 2024 NFL Draft. The franchise brought in numerous offensive linemen, added a solid WR2/WR3, and added depth at linebacker and defensive line. The one area the team did somewhat ignore was the secondary. The Steelers drafted Texas defensive back Ryan Watts III, who has good length and is a strong tackler, he lacks the athleticism to play cornerback (his college position) in the NFL. But with a lack of depth at cornerback, Watts is in contention with 2023 seventh-rounder Corey Trice for the nickel corner spot in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers need a veteran cornerback who can easily slot into the nickel spot and compete for a starting role alongside Joey Porter Jr. Steven Nelson has bounced around — playing for four teams over the last six seasons — but has been quietly successful at every stop. This includes a two-year stint in the Steel City. The 30-year-old had four picks in 2023 for the Houston Texans and allowed a passer rating of just 73.3 when targeted. Nelson's adaptability makes him an ideal addition to this Pittsburgh secondary.

Bud Dupree (OLB), Atlanta Falcons

When it comes to having a great pass rush, sacking the quarterback is a team effort. T.J. Watt is one of the NFL's elite when it comes to taking down the quarterback, but it is the players alongside him also providing pressure that helps Watt reach full productivity. Alex Highsmith is a Pro-Bowl-level edge-rusher on the opposite side, while Nick Herbig and Markus Golden provided a combined seven sacks in limited time as rotational players. Herbig will take up a bigger role with Golden entering free agency, but Pittsburgh could still use another secondary edge rusher.

The Steelers should look to facilitate another reunion with a former defensive starter: Bud Dupree. Since leaving Pittsburgh in 2021, Dupree has averaged 4.5 sacks a year for the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons. At age 31, he will look to join a contending team late in his career, and a return to Pittsburgh could mark one last shot at a Super Bowl.
