Talented young players like wide receiver Chase Claypool usually aren’t available via trade, especially when they’ve already provided solid evidence that they’re going to be very good in the long run.
The Steelers were high enough on Claypool to take him in the second round of the 2020 draft, and it’s not like he was a bust. Over his first two seasons, he put up 1,845 yards of total offense and scored 13 touchdowns. High draft picks sometimes don’t work out, but that clearly wasn’t the case for Claypool.
