Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Sanders: B+.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Raheim Sanders, the No. 143 name on the board, in the 245th pick.

Turner has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 30 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kaleb Johnson in the 56th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Mukuba at slot 83. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Taking Barrett Carter in No. 121 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at pick No. 130 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Addison West
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Addison West well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in Round 7, Pick 7 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 229 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
They barely believed it either: Raheim Sanders still on the board at the 245th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
