I don't hate the draft but I don't love it either.

I love the Claypool pick. He has so much upside and I think he could thrive in the Steelers offense. The Steelers now have multiple legit 6'4 receiving threats for Ben.

Thank God Pittsburgh isn't going about this the same way the Packers are. They clearly trust Ben and want to win now which I agree with. The team is good and a healthy Ben makes them a contender.

Highsmith was a reach but I like the player. I trust Colbert and apparently he loves the kid. It makes sense to grab a pass rusher since Dupree is gone next year.

McFarland us fast and great after the catch. Perfect fit for Pittsburgh's offense.

Getting Fitzpatrick for our first made this class great. Not factoring that in it is a solid B- with a lot of upside.

kinda same thought didn't hate or love the draft.

I thought maybe they would draft an RB earlier cuz Connor is not reliable but then again Benny Snell isn't a scrub either. Wonder if they plan to rotate a lot of the backs since Connor can't seem to stay healthy unfortunately.

Now Decastro needs to get healthy and we need a LT....

I like Snell. He isn't amazing but he has young fresh legs. Conner has lost a step and with how bad this o line is it shows. I'm glad Tomlin finally is accepting the fact that Snell is clearly better. Hopefully Decastro will get healthy and give a little boost to the running game.

We have so many young stud WRs. Diontae started rough but he is still the most promising one imo.

I'm a big Snell fan so far from last year and obviously last nights performance. I anticipated Connor getting banged up this year and maybe missing a couple games but damn... first half and he was already injured? I feel bad for the dude. I also feel bad for Zach Banner don't think it's confirmed but sounds like he tore his ACL. Dude worked his ass off for that starting position.

Totally agree there too on the receivers! Claypool was relatively quiet but he made a great catch down the sideline for a 1st down. I read reports he was very impressive in camp I can't wait to see him develop!
