Steeler defense

I doubt you can bench Bishop for Sutton. Sutton can play different positions. Depth.
Good problem to have.
I'm fine with a WR. At a premium is because the tradable ones appear to have been traded. Not sure who else is available? I don't follow it all that much. For defense, upgrade where they can upgrade. I'd go for another pass rusher type who can get to Maholnes with Watt. I have no idea if available.
Well they have Highsmith and Herbig. You want more??
There are WR's available, Kupp may still spring loose, and Slayton from the Giants could probably be had.
Williams from Jets.
Other less intriguing available.
I am honestly worried about the defense if we get to the playoffs. The Eagles allowed the Giants to gain 119 yards for the entire game last week. The Steelers allowed close to 400 on Monday night. If a Giants' team can go up and down the field on us, what might Houston, Baltimore, Buffalo or KC do? We got run on by a rookie, and Slayton lit us up. Our backers cannot cover anyone and Minkah playing centerfield pretty much has made him impotent. He hasn't made a game changing play in forever. What good is it to prevent big plays if a team nickels and dimes their way down the field? I have a feeling if we make it, the offense will be fine, the overpaid and overhyped defense will let us down. Teams are getting smart and throwing some form of double team block to negate the Watt effect. Andy Reid and some of the other top coaches will not allow Watt to wreck their game.
Jefferson is more a slot wr imo
Williams gives is a chance to send two legit receivers out, and feast on middle routes , while they occupy safety help . Makes running and play action even mlre
Effective .
Nobody is giving safety help to Jefferson or Austin .
Given Hopkins went for a 5th it would seem they overpayed. They gave up the best of 2 5th rounders to boot. But the answer is also yes that he’s an upgrade over Jefferson unless he’s shot. Time will tell.

19 catches for 249 yards last season and now 12 catches for 166 yards this season for a team that didn't have Adams for most of that time just seems a little Allen Robinsonish for my tastes.
Could be - coming off ACL injury .
He doesn’t hurt us
And if we are banking on 5th round picks to fix holes in the future - we are in trouble
Hardy Nickerson, Barry Foster, and Clark Haggans say hello!
Probably not going to be anything more than a short-term depth piece most years, but you need cheap depth. Not the end of the world, but you'd rather have one than not, obviously.
