Departed 2016 Draft Class Leaves Steelers With Expected Minor Consolation Prizes

The Pittsburgh Steelers carried four remaining members of the 2016 NFL Draft class into the 2019 season. All four of those remaining players signed elsewhere in free agency. The big-money contract out of the group proved to be Javon Hargrave, the third-round pick who got $13 million per season out of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Also signing elsewhere were first-round pick Artie Burns, second-round pick Sean Davis, and seventh-round pick Tyler Matakevich. As for the rest of the class, Jerald Hawkins was already traded the previous season, while Travis Feeney and Demarcus Ayers both flamed out.
