Steelers' Juju Smith-Schuster: Picked by Pittsburgh

The Steelers selected Smith-Schuster in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 62nd overall.

Analysis:

Smith-Schuster was a bit smaller (6-foot-1, 215 pounds) and slower (4.54-second 40) than expected at the Combine, but his prospect profile is still highly encouraging due to his exceptional production at USC. A strong, innately skilled pass catcher, Smith-Schuster was especially remarkable in 2015, when he turned 138 targets into 1,454 yards and 10 touchdowns despite not turning 19 until late November that year. If Martavis Bryant faces any further complications, Smith-Schuster has the talent to lay claim to the WR2 role in Pittsburgh.
