Eric Edholm's Commentary
The receiver we felt was a potentially perfect second-round choice was Michael Pittman Jr. But with Pittman gone, the Steelers grab a close facsimile in Claypool, who has elite athletic traits, great special-teams value and good upside. Call him a tight end or receiver; it doesn’t matter. He’s a big target with jumping ability to win 50-50 battles downfield.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The pass-rush well is running a bit dry, but the Steelers found a pretty good source here with Highsmith, who broke out with 14 sacks last season despite playing out of position. We feel Highsmith would be best on the edge, but his lack of ideal size and elite athleticism means he might not be more than a sub-package rusher to start. Do not count this young man out, however, as he has some twitch and plays with intensity. Interesting player and a nice fit here.
