JuJu was badly exposed as a #1. Claypool is fine but CP overrates him because there's a large contingent of people who wanted to draft him. Johnson is probably their best, most talented WR but man those drops. They seem to always come at the worst time.
Is James Washington even on the team anymore? Going into last season he seemed poise for a 3rd year breakout and he just collapsed.
And then again, maybe Ben's lousy arm just made the whole group stink. But there are real physical limitations w/ JuJu and Claypool and Ben's inaccuracy isn't causing Johnson to drop passes.
Their WR group could maybe use a facelift but really they just need it to be what they thought it could be.

I tend to agree with you here. Big Ben may be past his prime but his line and receivers did him no favors.
It will be impressive if the Steelers can avoid slipping below .500 over the next couple of years.
