The Pittsburgh Steelers have put together a fascinating offense for Aaron Rodgers.
They got him a star No. 1 wide receiver, DK Metcalf, but then they traded away George Pickens. They bulked up an already-solid tight end group by trading for Jonnu Smith, too.
And now the biggest question, at least outside Pittsburgh, is whether they've got enough WR help behind Metcalf.
They've got the speedster, Calvin Austin, and the second-year man out of Michigan, Roman Wilson.

NFL analyst Jack Sperry did a great breakdown of the whole group on X. This is why he likes what Wilson brings:
"The Steelers drafted Roman Wilson in the 3rd round last year because they believe his skillset fits what they want in their WR2 in this offense. Not only that, but Roman has shown promise in many of the key categories they ask their WR2 to excel in (run blocking, winning on crossers, reliable hands, etc.). After missing pretty much his entire rookie season, PIT wants to give Roman a legitimate shot to prove himself as a starter to begin this season."
Austin is a good combination for the other guys around him, writes Sperry:
"Calvin is honestly the perfect WR3 for this offense in the 'passing downs specialist' role. He's not big/strong enough to fulfill the run blocking duties this offense requires from it's WR2 position on early downs, which is why I bet Roman Wilson outsnaps Calvin this year just as Van Jefferson did last year, even though Calvin is probably this team's 2nd best overall receiving threat. His long speed & ball tracking ability makes him a legitimately dangerous vertical threat."

And then Sperry points out that the Steelers will use multi-TE sets a lot, making their depth receivers less important.
Smith is joined by Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington in an imposing tight end bunch.
There's still a chance Pittsburgh ends up missing Pickens. He would've been a great threat on the opposite side of the field from Metcalf.
But this group has a real chance to work out just fine for Rodgers and Arthur Smith's offense.
