I couldn’t have been the only one sitting in front of the TV on day two of the NFL Draft – hoping the Steelers would draft Hakeem Butler when he began to slip. If Chase Winovich wasn’t going to be the pick at 66 overall, then I was on board with the Iowa State receiver.
The Steelers obviously went a very different direction in drafting a 5’10’,’ 183 pound receiver in Diontae Johnson. Though this seems like a reach at first glance (most draft boards had Butler rated higher), maybe there is some science behind this pick.
