[FONT=Lato, sans-serif]This will be a tough year for rookies. There are no padded practices until August 17th.

Our first game is 9-14.

I do not think this is one of the better rookie class for the Steelers, but I do like Claypool, and McFarland's upside. The coaches should work them after a week with the 1st team to see what they have. Both players bring speed and playmaking ability to an offense that needs both. Claypool by the way is one heck of a blocker.

You might see them sprinkled in early as both have skill sets that could translate to early playing time. But I expect that to be just that a sprinkle. Then by mid-season it is anyone's guess but no reason if both are healthy that those snaps don't significantly increase.
