To this point, I’ve been breaking down draft trends across the NFL from the past decade, as well as draft traits for players the Steelers have selected in the same timeframe. I think I have a pretty good feeling at this point for the type of players the Steelers covet and now it’s time to put all that data and analysis to work.
It’s fun to focus on who the black and gold might choose with their highest pick in round 2, but I thought it even more important to determine how they can maximize their limited draft capital in the later rounds.
