2015 7 Round NFL Draft: Final Edition

Is There Really Gold in Them Thar Hills?
or, more to the point, have teams like the Steelers, the Ravens, and the Patriots really found a way to identify better-than-average players in the lower rounds of the NFL Draft? (Part III in a series.)
Steelers O and D lines battle of hads vs. had-nots
The Steelers have drafted offensive and defensive linemen in the first round of recent drafts, but it was the grinders who got contracts this offseason. The disparity between the two makes for an interesting batting over the offseason workouts.
Does crime pay in the NFL Draft?
or, more precisely, does Bill Belichick-style horse trading pay off? Steelers fans are adjured to be very patient while we examine some of New England's trade strategies and compare them (at long last) to the Steelers' drafting proclivities.

Revisiting the Steelers draft class of 2011
It's been too early to fairly evaluate the Steelers draft class of 2011, but early indications are hot and cold, with multiple players being on the fence.
Revisiting the draft class of 2010

Revisiting the draft class of 2009
The Steelers were again World Champions, although this time, they selected 32nd overall, the highest spot the franchise has ever drafted (they traded up in 2006). Their strategy was to exploit a strong middle round talent pool.
Revisiting the draft class of 2008

Revisiting the draft class of 2006
Opportunity was there in 2006 and the Steelers worked to make something happen. While they picked up a player who will be forever etched in Steelers history, they didn't get much long-term return on their investment, or other moves they made in 2006.
Revisiting the draft class of 2005
Tack on another ace in the first round, and another great group of undrafted rookies to the Steelers' mounting level of success in the mid-2000s.
Revisiting the draft class of 2004
