Steelers Ranked As One Of Better Drafting Teams Since 2020

The Pittsburgh Steelers only have one Pro Bowl selection from their draft haul dating back to 2020, but using Football Reference’s Approximate Value stat, The Athletic’s Nick Baumgardner has the Steelers ranked as the 12th-best team when it comes to adding talent over the last five years.

Approximate Value “is an attempt to put a single number on the seasonal value of a player at any position from any year,” and Pittsburgh’s average of 8.18 approximate value put them at No. 12. Baumgardner lists OLB Alex Highsmith at No. 102 overall in 2020 as Pittsburgh’s best pick and WR George Pickens at No.
