It’s only natural that opinions will be mixed when it comes to rating draft classes, especially right out of the gate. These days—and frankly for some time now—we get draft grades coming in during the draft in real time as picks are being made. The minute-by-minute evaluation of everything that is going on is, frankly, just a market response to the interest in the product.
And variety, particularly contrarian variety, feeds that market, so we get a diversity of thought on just about everything these days. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft class has certainly elicited a mixture of responses.
