More than in many a year, surely, Pittsburgh Steelers fans are increasingly turning their attentions early to the next draft. One can hardly blame the fanbase of a team that is sitting at 2-6 without clear and obvious prospects for a second-half turnaround when they seem more interested in draft coverage than pre-game discussions.
To that crowd is this article directed, and as a friendly reminder, they’re going to have an extra second-round pick this time around thanks to their decision to trade wide receiver Chase Claypool last week. It’s likely to be a high draft pick, coming from the 3-6 Chicago Bears, but wide receiver is not among their biggest needs.
