PITTSBURGH, PA — The Steelers’ 28-14 victory over the Cleveland Browns wasn’t enough to get them into the playoffs, but several national sports writers are optimistic about the team’s future. Here’s what they said, along with a look ahead as to what’s next for the Steelers.
The Steelers have the 17th pick in the first round, but essentially have two first-round picks as a result of the Chase Claypool trade to the Chicago Bears this season. The Steelers received a second-round pick for the wide receiver; but the Bears will have the first-round pick in the first and second rounds based on their atrocious record. Add in the Miami Dolphins having to forfeit their first-round choice based on tampering allegations, the Steelers grabbing the bears’ second-round pick essentially gives them another first-rounder.
