49. Pittsburgh Steelers
Chase Claypool | WR | Notre Dame
This pick had to be an offensive playmaker, and there were plenty of worthy candidates at both running back and wide receiver for the Steelers. They go with one of the most versatile and intriguing players in this draft in Claypool.
A wide receiver in a tight end’s body, Claypool’s skill set could see him used much like the Giants have used Evan Engram in recent years. He’s got rare speed and athleticism for his size, and his massive frame makes him a challenge for smaller defensive backs.
The Steelers know what they’re doing when it comes to drafting wide receivers. I’ll trust them on this one, even if it’s earlier than I expected to see Claypool come off the board.
