The Steelers came away with an impressive haul in the 2021 NFL Draft. Here are my grades for each player they drafted.

Offense was a glaring need coming into the NFL Draft and the Steelers responded accordingly. They went all-in on offense the first four picks and greatly improved their running game while adding much-needed competition on their offensive line. They also gave the passing game a little boost. For the rest of the Draft, they emphasized defensive depth and capped off day three with a challenge to their incumbent punter.
