Giving immediate NFL Draft grades is an exercise in futility, so it only seems appropriate to go back to 2016 and look at where these players find themselves heading into the 2019 season." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteBehind the Steel Curtaina Pittsburgh Steelers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsSteelersOddsShopAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Latest NewsSteelers Film Room2018 NFL Draft AnalysisLatest NewsFiled under:Latest NewsGrading the Steelers 2016 NFL Draft: Mediocre at best describes the 2016 draft classNew https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-juju-smith-schuster-jersey ,30commentsGiving immediate NFL Draft grades is an exercise in futility, so it only seems appropriate to go back to 2016 and look at where these players find themselves heading into the 2019 season.EDTShareTweetShareShareGrading the Steelers 2016 NFL Draft: Mediocre at best describes the 2016 draft classPhilip G. Pavely-USA TODAY SportsWhile many NFL football fans cling to those immediate draft grades and consider their contents gospel, it seems rather ridiculous when these ‘experts’ grade a selection who has yet to step foot onto an NFL field.With that said, it doesn’t seem as ridiculous to go back and look at the 2016 NFL Draft to see just how these players, who are nearing the end of their rookie contracts, have done throughout their first few seasons in the NFL.Dane Brugler of The Athletic, decided to go back and not only grade the classes, but give the best player T. J. Watt Jersey , best value, etc. According to Brugler:So, what did he think about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2016 NFL Draft class? Let’s take a look!Pittsburgh SteelersGrade: C1 (25) Artie Burns, CB, Miami (Fla.)2 (58) Sean Davis, SS, Maryland3 (89) Javon Hargrave, DT Jerome Bettis Jersey White , South Carolina State4 (123) Jerald Hawkins, OT, LSU6 (220) Travis Feeney, LB, Washington (Free Agent)7 (229) Demarcus Ayers, WR, Houston (Free Agent)7 (246) Tyler Matakevich, LB James Conner Jersey White , TempleBest player: Javon HargraveA two-time Defensive Player of the Year in the MEAC, Hargrave had a strong pre-draft process, catapulting him into the top-100 conversation. That positive momentum carried over to his NFL career where he has been a three-year starter and important piece of the Pittsburgh front.Best value: Tyler MatakevichSpecial teams might not be sexy but it keeps some players on NFL rosters, and Matakevich is a prime example. Over the past three seasons, his 29 tackles on special teams rank second-best in the NFL. Considering his impact, Hargrave is arguably the better value, but let’s give some love to the special teamers.Biggest miss: Artie BurnsThe Steelers were reportedly set to draft William Jackson at No. 25 before the Bengals pulled the rug out from underneath them and drafted the former Houston corner at No. 24. Desperate for cornerback help, Pittsburgh drafted Burns Womens Jerome Bettis Jersey , who has shown flashes of first-round talent but very little consistency, taking a step back in Year 3 last season.It is difficult to disagree with the above assessment of the team’s 2016 draft class, but Brugler went a step further and spoke to Steelers’ beat writer for The Athletic, Mark Kaboly, to get his insider view on the draft class. Has this class been a total disappointment? Hargrave is coming off a season where he had 6.5 sacks in a part-time role, but at a time when fans thought they had three starting defenders in the first three rounds of the draft, this class certainly lacks the luster fans expected immediately after the draft process concluded.What do you think of the 2016 class?
