Let me start by saying that I didn’t hate the Chase Claypool pick for the Steelers in the second round. Outside of their top three wide receivers, Pittsburgh had perhaps the worst depth in the league at the position with just Deon Cain and Ryan Switzer set to return from their 2019 roster.
However, was it possible that Claypool’s impressive NFL Combine numbers elevated his draft stock a bit too high?
As a receiver, there are still a lot of things Claypool needs to work on. He’s not a refined route runner and he fails to create much separation in and out of his breaks.
