Omar Khan’s two drafts as NFL general manager have been quality and almost universally praised. Talented players, correct value, hitting the team’s biggest needs. While the board has broken well in Pittsburgh’s favor, it’s been pretty easy determining who they would – and wouldn’t – select.
Over his two drafts, nine of his 14 picks have been pre-draft visitors, including local ones. That’s 64.3 percent of the team’s selections. To be clear, the Steelers’ draft picks are made by three men: Art Rooney II, Mike Tomlin, and Khan. I use “his drafts” to signify Khan’s era as the team’s GM.
