Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Cameron from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Josh Cameron tumbling to the Steelers in pick No. 214 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at slot 53 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
A linebacker of that caliber at the 76th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday in the 85th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Julian Neal
You do not let a cornerback like Julian Neal reach Round 3, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Value with a capital V on Mike Washington Jr. in pick No. 121, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick 135 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry slid further than he should have, and No. 159 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder in pick 213 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Circle this one: Josh Cameron at No. 214 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 TJ Hall
A reasonable price with a little left over, TJ Hall in pick No. 224. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Cole Payton
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Payton at the 237th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
