It’s hard to take any positives away from the 2024 season, but the rookie class was pretty solid for the second year in a row. In GM Omar Khan’s second draft fully in charge, he managed to find some key players, and there is still plenty of room for the class to look better with injuries holding out a handful of the picks for the entire season. Pro Football Focus ranked the top 10 rookie classes and the Steelers came in at No. 9.
The biggest story is probably the future of the interior offensive line. Zach Frazier had a fantastic rookie season, and Mason McCormick showed plenty of promise.
