The Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to trade wide receiver Chase Claypool to the Chicago Bears for a second-round draft pick has been framed by many as a ‘steal’ on Pittsburgh’s part. That became especially apparent when the Bears finished with the worst record in the league, and thus the highest draft pick.
How good the trade works out to be for Pittsburgh, though, will of course depend on what they do with that draft pick. Meanwhile, Claypool still has much to prove in his new home for anybody to believe the Steelers made a mistake. Nobody denies his talent, yet he has not produced, and his maturity has been questioned.
