Ever since the 2023 season ended, various outlets have put out lists grading each team’s rookie class. Most of those lists have been pretty favorable to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ group from the 2023 NFL Draft. They got a lot of playing time out of the group. It wasn’t the perfect season for all of them, but many contributed in a big way to the success of the team, especially down the stretch of the season. Not every analyst agrees that the Steelers struck gold with their rookie class, however. The Athletic’s Diante Lee sees the group as just slightly above average, giving them a C-plus grade.
