The 2024 NFL Draft was a remarkable event.
Several teams made significant moves to help set themselves up for the foreseeable future, assuming their top prospects pan out.
As seems to be a tradition every year, NFL fans and analysts have started giving out grades for teams based on their draft performance.
While it remains to be seen how these prospects will pan out when they hit the gridiron, it is seemingly enjoyable to predict how teams will fare over the next year.
Brian Baldinger recently appeared on NFL Total Access to talk about the draft and give out some grades, and he was particularly complimentary about the Pittsburgh Steelers and the moves they made.
“This line is going to be great for Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, I think it’s going to be the best offensive line Russell Wilson has played behind,” Baldinger said.

Baldinger believes that the Steelers have gotten significantly better on the offensive line, which should be a positive sign for the team’s future.
The Steelers have struggled to gain traction on offense for the past several years, but with a new line, they could completely change things around.
Harris and Warren could get more time in the backfield, and, assuming Wilson is the Week 1 starter, he could have plenty of time to make good decisions in the pocket.
Baldinger also seems to like the Steelers move at receiver, as they selected Roman Wilson in the third round, a highly touted player from the University of Michigan.
It will be interesting to see how the Steelers play down the stretch, but if Baldinger’s comments are any indication, this is a step in the right direction for this team.
