Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Gordon II from sliding. Grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Ollie Gordon II sat on the board until pick No. 225, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Watts at slot 56 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Somehow Dylan Sampson was still sitting there in pick No. 84, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in Round 4, Pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the 122nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Savion Williams
The board fumbled Savion Williams all the way to No. 125, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick143 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in the 143rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Taking Anthony Belton in pick 158 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at slot 163 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in pick No. 225, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They liked Donovan Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in the 231st pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick237 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson at No. 237 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A tight end of that caliber at pick 247 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
