Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Zuhn III at the 121st overall pick, a reach of 73 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They banked enough surplus on Egbuka to cover a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 3 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 21 they get a two-high chess piece, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at Round 2, Pick 20 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A tidy bit of business in pick 83, where Deone Walker graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Trey Zuhn III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 121, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
