Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesC
FutureB+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-. Some picks age like wine; Justin Eboigbe at the 239th overall pick will need to, sitting 33 spots clear of his grade. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Powers-Johnson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots still on the board.
The Ogunbiyi pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
JC Latham
In pick 18 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. More want than need.
Pick77
Rnd3
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots to take Jackson Powers-Johnson, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick110
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Good price on Cam Hart in Round 4, Pick 10, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 118 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121
Rnd4
James Williams
A reach for James Williams in the 121st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
They jumped the gun on Jordan Travis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
They paid sticker price for Jaylan Ford in pick No. 158, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188
Rnd6
Darius Robinson
A reach on Darius Robinson in No. 188; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196
Rnd6
Ricky Pearsall
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky Pearsall at the 196th pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231
Rnd7
Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi in pick 231 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick239
Rnd7
Justin Eboigbe
Value said wait; Justin Eboigbe in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
