Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers let Hampton fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Omarion Hampton, the No. 31 name on the board, sitting there at pick 56 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 30 they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at No. 56 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Savion Williams a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the 123rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
The board had Tyler Shough higher than pick No. 156, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Nice patience on Chase Lundt, who had no business lasting to pick 185. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid sticker price for Cam Jackson in the 229th overall pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
