Steelers Draft Report Card: Grades for the Mike Tomlin Era

How can we publish a Steelers draft report card before the 2018 NFL draft has even happened?

We’re not grading the upcoming draft. We’re grading the 11 Steelers drafts since Mike Tomlin was hired as head coach in 2007, and we’ll finish by spinning forward a little bit to the 2018 draft.

As soon as Mr. Irrelevant gets his No. 256 jersey on Saturday afternoon, cyberspace will be flooded with draft report cards for every team. And in five years, we’ll be laughing at a lot of those report cards. Grading these picks before any of the players have played a snap is like handing out report cards on the first day of school.
