Steelers select Diontae Johnson, WR, Toledo #66 overall

[43Hitman]

WR Diontae Johnson — The Steelers had a first-round grade on Johnson and still got him in the third round, which makes the pick even more tantalizing. Johnson was the most underrated receiver in the draft and has a chance to be a reliable target for Ben Roethlisberger right away. That’s because he has a good understanding of route combinations and runs precise routes. Grade: A

This can't be true, I hear he sucks, like the rest of our draft. The Steelers should just move their team to Baltimore or something. What a disgrace.

Yes, here is a copy of that game. He beats Michael Jackson on a couple go routes where he beats the press coverage and the QB put it just over the top. Jackson was a 5th round pick of the Cowboys.

Johnson has a couple WR screens, his first TD was a slant that was tipped by the OLB, but he was in the seam and open. The other TD is approx. a 15 yard dig, that he catches in the slot and then reverses his field and takes to the end zone. He seems to have a lateral hop move that he often uses to beat the jam and go. Looks like he is capable of working from the slot and also the X.

Really like this pick also.

He's on the short side with short arms. How is his catch radius rated 7th. This data is wrong.
