Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Sampson. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dylan Sampson, the No. 43 name on the board, stolen at pick 84. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Cross III lower, and that gap is the story. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 22 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in pick No. 53 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Dylan Sampson in No. 84, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
A big swing on Howard Cross III at the 120th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
