There wasn’t much flash within the draft class of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but there was a lot of substance that filled major needs for the Black and Gold and has them closer to getting back to their physical, hard-nosed ways, thanks to the selections made by GM Omar Khan and assistant GM Andy Weidl.
Even without that flash and the lack of true big names in the draft, Pittsburgh’s overall class was ranked among the best in the league Monday morning by The Athletic’s Dane Brugler.
Brugler ranked the Steelers’ draft class at No. 4 overall in the NFL, behind only the New England Patriots, Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks, and just ahead of the New York Giants.
