While it is still too early to tell the long-term impact of a rookie draft class, the Pittsburgh Steelers have enjoyed some great early returns. This was general manager Omar Khan’s first draft in charge along with assistant GM Andy Weidl and the two did a great job hitting on many of their top picks.
CBS Sports analyst Chris Trapasso released a list ranking the top classes around the league and had the Steelers with the fifth-best class so far.
He broke each team down by their “vital rookies” and their “key contributors” and the Steelers’ top five selections were all mentioned.
