    well, the Steelers have a great track record drafting WR- but

    I'm shocked.

    And Stunned.

    What's wrong with Dobbins?

    Ben has wanted a tall receiver and the Steelers do really well with WR in the draft. Plus at 6'4, 238 lbs he should be able to block as well. I like the pick.

    Haven’t seen a single snap of this guy play but I hope he works out. With his speed and size he could be a big asset, quite different from what they have in the WR room already which is good

    JK Dobbins was still on the board. Steelers were good at WR. :rolleyes:

    Well, maybe they're banking Dobbins still being there. Idk, but this guy isn't even on the radar. So, don't you think we could've gotten him next rd?

    Maybe he will be as good as that other bum we got from Notre Dame, Jerome Bettis. Although we didn't draft The Bus.

    Maybe now we can officially say goodbye to Switzer!

    I also think the writings is now on the board for showing JuJu the door at the end of the season.

    Snell has potential. Conner is a walking Mash Unit. Samuels is more of a TE/FB than a RB. JK Dobbins would have been a better pick. Steelers could have got a tall slow WR in the later rounds.

    I would have line to see them trade up to go after one of the safeties. Instead we get another season of the mediocrity of Edmunds dragging the defense down.

    I think Claypool over Dobbins was a mistake, too. He has size and speed, but doesn’t make the best use of either.

    Claypool is a player.....he's a big, tall and fast (4.42 40 at combine) at 6'4 238. Great pick imo, he adds something we don't have at the WR position which is size. Adding a skill player of this caliber to the offense will only compliment Ben's comeback.

    If Edmunds is 6th or 7th round talent according to you...then there's still hope for a Strong Safety in round 3 or 4.

    It will help run game too, they won't crowd the line if this guy is on the field.
