Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a C-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Jamaree Caldwell. He came off 60 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Landing Norman-Lott that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 23 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In No. 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
You do not let a cornerback like Zy Alexander reach the 86th overall pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 87. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 123rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the 161st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They reached a country mile for Jamaree Caldwell at pick No. 229, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Etienne at pick 245 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
