2020 Draft: Chase Claypool a great fit for what the Steelers need

With the 49th pick in the NFL draft, the Steelers select Chase Claypool, WR, Notre Dame.

The moment Commissioner Goodell announced this, the Steelers community exploded in a rush of excitement and anger. Fans on both sides were quick to praise or pan the Steelers’ decision of adding Claypool. Regardless of personal feelings about him, it is important to look to the future with what Claypool will do for the Steelers.

Claypool logged an impressive 150 receptions for 2,159 yards (14.4 average) and 19 TDs, with his best season being last year where he went 66/1037/13 on the year.
