Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Bru McCoy at pick 247, a reach of 95 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Harris value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding DK Metcalf by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In slot 21 they get a bell-cow for the offense, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach the 83rd overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Will Howard
Will Howard in No. 122 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They paid a round early for JJ Pegues in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brandon Adams this early at the 225th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick No. 231 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
They reached a country mile for Bru McCoy at the 247th pick, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
