The Steelers select WR Chase Claypool #49 overall

[pczach]

I don’t really care what Kiper nor Irvin says. pczach has been on Claypool’s bandwagon for months... and pczach has a pretty good track record. Really. He’s our own McShay.

Wow, thanks man. I really appreciate the kind words. I don't know that I deserve them...but I'll take it!

What have you done? Now the pressure is on to be right.

So this is what Kevin Colbert and Coach Tomlin feel all the time?

Besides, you really dive into the draft. You were talking up Highsmith and obviously do your homework and develop your own opinions as well. Don't sell yourself short. You are all over this stuff, and I love your passion and enthusiasm for the game.

I love the draft and being able to talk football and listen to other people's perspectives on talent and the game. You are right at the top of that list.

This made my day. Truly. Thank you.

Of course, my main skillset is finding players... for the Ravens.

If Claypool turns out to be anything close Calvin Johnson, we are in for some real fun highlight clips in the coming years.

Canadian fans referred to him as Mapletron.

This why the Steelers selected him over a RB.

[polamalubeast]

LOL,I prefer to give the 84 to a TE or at a pratique squad WR!

To be fair for the red zone offense,this offense had been awful no matter where the steelers were on the field ... They could not move the ball (30th in yards and only 10 TD in the last 9 games) but yes I prefer a WR even if I would not have been upset with an RB.

Given the Steelers ability to draft WRs.... I won’t be surprised if Claypool ends up being the best receiver in this draft.

[Blast Furnace]

That's the key - allows JuJu to move back to the slot!

Looks like he could be a beast with proper coaching up. Also looks like Martavis Bryant without character concerns

Yea, but “some guy” on TV said that the Steelers had a bad draft...

Would help those out that have those AB jerseys...lol.

[86WARD]

They could even make extra money selling a replacement nameplate...lol

Why not just give him 83? Does somebody else currently have it, as I cant see that they do on the team website.

Yes. Bring some honor back to Heath's number. Last one I remember having 83 was Cobi Hamilton

I didn’t think they handed his out since Heath left. But I think tube is right. I think Hamilton was 83...so yes...give Claypool the 83!

They r letting Amarah Darboh wear Stallworth's #82...………...they can let Claypool wear #83 IMO.
