The NFL Draft is finally here. And with that comes the hope of fans everywhere for their respective teams to add stars to their roster. It is also where several trades could be taking place – one of which involves Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens.

Fox NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that the Steelers have “taken and made calls” regarding Pickens, and Pickens has since unfollowed the team on Instagram. It appears the likelihood of Pickens being traded is greater than the odds of him staying with Pittsburgh. If that’s the case, there will be no shortage of suitors.

A bit of admin here, though – the Steelers shouldn’t trade Pickens for anything less than a third-round pick. Should they be able to get a second-round pick, that would be a big feather in Omar Khan’s cap. A third, though, feels more likely. With that said, here are a handful of teams to keep an eye out for.

Houston Texans

Houston will be without Tank Dell for an unknown amount of time after his gruesome knee injury he sustained this past December against the Kansas City Chiefs, and Stefon Diggs signed with the New England Patriots. Outside of Nico Collins, they don’t have any viable starting options on their roster, and it’s surprising they weren’t the team to make the DK Metcalf trade. Call Pittsburgh and make the trade for Pickens.

Trade Proposal:

Pittsburgh Steelers receive: third-round pick (No. 79), fifth-round pick (No. 166)

Houston Texans receive: WR George Pickens, sixth-round pick (No. 185)

Green Bay Packers

The Packers were name-dropped by Schultz in his report as a team with serious interest in making the trade for Pickens. They have several quality receivers of their own, but none that are legitimate No. 1 guys. Should they include one of those receivers in a deal for Pickens, that may be enough to get the job done.

Trade Proposal:

Pittsburgh Steelers receive: third-round pick (No. 87), WR Dontayvion Wicks
Green Bay Packers receive: WR George Pickens, 2026 fifth-round pick

Dallas Cowboys

If there is a team you may be able to squeeze a second-round pick out of, it’s the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas needs a vertical threat opposite CeeDee Lamb, and Jerry Jones is known to get trigger happy for receivers (he traded a fourth-round pick for Jonathan Mingo). If Dallas is interested ask for the second-round pick up front and see if Jerry says yes.

Trade Proposal:

Pittsburgh Steelers receive: Second-round pick (No. 44)
Dallas Cowboys receive: WR George Pickens
