Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Bam Martin-Scott, 147 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Felton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 21st overall pick they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach No. 55 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at slot 83 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at pick No. 122 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Will Howard
They let Will Howard come to them and pounced at pick 124. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
A tidy bit of business in No. 163, where Earnest Greene III graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bam Martin-Scott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bam Martin-Scott in slot 183, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in Round 7, Pick 2 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger in the 225th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick231 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
They read the board right and Theo Wease Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 231. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Phillip Webb
Phillip Webb at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
