Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD- FutureB-
The Steelers bled value on every deal, hence the C.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 112 picks early on Kurtis Rourke, and the board is going to hold them to it. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The back end got a real overhaul.

Hit on Tyler Nubin and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In slot 16 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in the 48th pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick80 Rnd3 D.J. James
Fair-plus on D.J. James, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in Round 4, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Good price on Roman Wilson in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 121st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
A big swing on Kurtis Rourke at No. 194, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Hatten this early at the 237th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
