Opinions have been divided, to say the least, as it concerns the Pittsburgh Steelers and their 2021 NFL Draft class. Whether it was drafting a running back in the first round, not drafting an offensive lineman in the first two rounds, finding potential starting linemen in the middle rounds, trading for a lower-ranked defensive lineman in the fifth, drafting a punter, or finding a higher-ranked edge defender in the sixth round, there were plenty of different aspects of this class on which to form an opinion.
As always, Pro Football Focus has many. They gave the Steelers’ class a C overall, and have obviously routinely argued against drafting any running back ever under any circumstances in the first round, but they did like Quincy Roche out of Miami/Temple in the sixth round, and in fact labeled him one of the steals of the draft.
