After making just six selections a year ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers finished this year’s draft adding nine players, which included their trading into the fifth round by dealing away a 2022 fourth-round draft pick. They addressed major offensive needs early before rounding out the day plugging defensive holes, with a punter as a capper.
All in all, it spells out the letter C, at least according to Pro Football Focus, as that is the instant-reaction grade the outlet has given the Steelers’ draft class—notably the worst of the AFC North. The Baltimore Ravens got a B+, while the Cincinnati Bengals got a solid B, and the Cleveland Browns, a homerun A+.
