The Pittsburgh Steelers, who hired Arthur Smith and traded for Russell Wilson to remodel their offense, concentrated on the trenches during the first two days of the 2024 NFL Draft. However, they also attempted to trade for San Francisco 49ers “wide back” Deebo Samuel, an All-Pro.
Before the three-day event, trade rumors about Samuel (and Brandon Aiyuk) really escalated. The 49ers looked like they were trying to cut costs while replacing him with young talent. Het is duidelijk dat de 49ers beide All-Pro wide receivers behielden. They even picked Ricky Pearsall as the 31st overall, adding another wideout to the mix.
Prior to the three-day tournament, trade rumours between Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk really picked up steam, with the 49ers reportedly looking to minimise costs by trading him for a young, talented player. However, it appears that the 49ers managed to retain both of their All-Pro wide outs. They even included Ricky Pearsall, a wideout, in the mix by choosing him 31st overall.
Nevertheless, the Steelers supposedly attempted to lure Samuel with a trade offer San Francisco couldn’t reject, even if the 49ers were holding onto their best player.
The 49ers rejected a trade offer made by the Steelers for Samuel, according to Mike Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Roman Wilson of Michigan was chosen by the Steelers with the 84th overall choice in the third round. Wilson, a 22-year-old native of Hawaii, has a high chance of becoming a successful player. Wilson might not have Samuel’s skill level at the moment, but even as a rookie, he ought to be able to see the pitch.
