Even though the 2017 NFL Draft has yet to take place, Aaron Schatz of Football Outsiders has already released his first set of record projections for all 32 NFL teams in a post for ESPN.com. When it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Schatz has them improving on their record from last season and once again winning the AFC North.
Schatz, who has the Steelers going 13-3 in 2017, writes:
Pittsburgh and New England come out far ahead of the rest of the league in our forecast, with the Steelers powered by the best offensive projection in the league.
