PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Steelers have given quarterback Ben Roethlisberger another big target, selecting Notre Dame wide receiver Chase Claypool in the second round of the NFL draft. The 6-foot-4 Claypool caught 66 passes for 1,037 yards and 13 touchdowns last year. Pittsburgh also added depth at outside linebacker in the third round, taking Alex Highsmith out of Charlotte. Highsmith joins a group that includes Pro Bowler T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree, who signed a one-year franchise tender on the eve of the draft.
