National outlets have been gushing over the Pittsburgh Steelers 2023 draft class, and really who can blame them? The front office filled most of the obvious holes and found terrific value in nearly all of its picks across all three days. Pinpointing which pick is truly the best of the class in Pittsburgh is an interesting exercise, one that ESPN’s Todd McShay undertook following the NFL Draft.
The veteran draft guru specified that his exercise wasn’t to pinpoint the best player in each team’s rookie class, but rather the weigh the value of the selection in relation to scheme fit, team needs and where the player was on his personal board at the time of the selection to determine the best pick in the class.
