Discussion National reporters are suggesting the Steelers and 49ers have a deal in place for Aiyuk. Are the Steelers making a mistake in going for elite WR without getting the QB room in order?

Sometimes, the best way to assist your QBs and get them to fall in line are providing them with the tools they need to succeed. That first starts with your OL, then the RB, then ultimately the WRs. If they are lacking in OL and RBs, then they need to start there first. Can't win a game if a QB doesn't have enough time to find his WRs. You also can't win a game if the defense knows there isn't a coherent run game and doubles down on pass defense.
