Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Emmanwori should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nick Emmanwori, the No. 16 name on the board, in pick 52. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Thornton Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 52nd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A conviction pick on Jack Bech at pick 83 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in Round 4, Pick 20, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 161, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
