    Next Years Wide Squad

    #1 WR - Not on the team yet - draft or Free Agency
    #2 WR - Diontae Johnson - has athleticism, keep working on catching FOCUS!
    #3 WR - Ju Ju - Resign him for a couple years - Good Possession receiver, Clutch go to guy .
    #4 WR Ray Ray - Good slot, quick gets open separation fast.

    James Washington - Just not athletic enough let him walk.
    Claypool - TRADE on draft day . - Athletic, but runs bad routes, quits on plays, stops running, doesn't get enough separation has to fight hard for every catch. over-rated no high ceiling.

    I would agree. Maybe not even keep Ray-Ray, but tother than that I agree with the list.

    If Claypool does want to stay he needs to work his butt off during the off-season and learn the sutble intrecies of the position. Up until the NFL I believe Claypool made it on God given talent alone, he is not a polished receiver by any stretch of the imagination.
    Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

    I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

      I would definitely keep Claypool, he's only 23 years old and has talent, Steelers have other areas that need to be addressed. Keep Johnson, Claypool, see if Juju can come back and get another WR.

        Claypool still has to grow and realize he can't just out jump and out muscle everyone. Needs to be better at running his routes.

        I'm not sure he or Dionte will ever be true #1 receivers. Both are too inconsistent

        I would absolutely bring JuJu back because he makes both Claypool and Dionte better.

          I feel like Claypool has too much potential to give up on him already. But someone definately needs to work with him. Maybe DJ can lend him the tennis ball machine. His hands were a mess last night.

            I'd exchange the whole bunch of them for a true #1 receiver

              No way we trade Claypool.. he is raw and cheap.

              Washington isn’t getting any faster or better at route running. He’s gone.

                And regressing. He has gotten worse as time has gone on.

                  No use getting a true #1 WR if Mason Rudolph or Haskins is throwing to him. Even bringing in a scrub like Bridgewater or Colt McCoy isn't going to do much with a top WR

                    His numbers are pretty much the same as last season and the offense overall definitely isn't better. He's only 23.

                      Get rid of Ray Ray. Not sure Juju even wants to come back, but I'd bring him back to play slot. Agree 100% on Claypool and JDubs.

                        And bad intangibles. Just doesn't get it.

                          That is EXACTLY what you could say about DJ last season.

                          In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

                            Trade Claypool?

                            This is so dumb I cannot believe how dumb it is.

                            Dude lacks polish.. HE IS FROM CANADA. He ain't from a football culture.

                            The kid has FRANCHISE RECORDS and DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING.

                            Please notice the pattern of WHO want to trade him.

                            I swear some of you want Tomlin fired so badly you hope he does something stupid so you can blame him when the kid is tearing it up elsewhere.

                              Trading Claypool is idiotic. You have nothing to replace him and wouldn't even get the 2nd Round pick you used to get him.

                              Also...I can't believe the number of people on this board that seem obsessed with coming up with ways for the Steelers to fail
