Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Recap: Grades and Analysis
The NFL Draft concluded on Saturday, April 29th. The Pittsburgh Steelers added eight players to their roster via the draft and City of Champions Sports is here to breakdown each draftee and the draft class as a whole.
Before the draft, we took a look at the Steelers roster and identified some of its strengths and weaknesses. Now that the draft has come and gone, it’s time to do a Steelers draft recap and see how the team addressed its weaknesses.
The Steelers added eight players in the 82nd Annual Player Selection Meeting, commonly known as the NFL Draft. The team will be relying on these new additions to help them take the next step towards usurping the Patriots and taking the AFC crown.
Kevin Colbert – Hand of the King, Omar Khan – Master of Coin, and Mike Tomlin – Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch have to feel good about the young lords who have been added to the fold. Ok, all Game of Thrones references aside – it was a great draft.
For each pick, we break down the selection and provide analysis on how the player can fit into the Steelers scheme. One of the most impressive prospects from this draft class was added in Round 7, but what about the picks before that?
There were certainly a few eye-opening additions and one very questionable decision by the Steelers front office. But the main thing Steelers fan want to know is…
Are the Steelers ready for a return to the Super Bowl?

After the additions made from this draft class, the Steelers have to be dreaming of a Super Bowl Sunday. These are the official City of Champions Sports draft grades and analysis for each pick. At the end, we give an overall draft grade for the team’s rookie haul. Check it out!
