PITTSBURGH – Mike Tomlin doesn't need to let the post-NFL draft grades come in. The Pittsburgh Steelers coach is certain his team hit a home run in 2020 regardless of what happens over the next three day.
It helps when your first-round pick already has All-Pro on his resume. While teams scrambled to figure out the first “virtual” NFL draft, the Steelers had expected to spend Thursday night monitoring it from afar.
No need to get worked up over logistics — at least not yet — with safety Minkah Fitzpatrick already in the fold. Pittsburgh sent its first-round pick to Miam i last fall in exchange for the dynamic Fitzpatrick, whose arrival was the missing piece the the club's defense needed to become one of the league's best.
