Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureA
The Steelers robbed the room for Martinez. Final grade: B+.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Damien Martinez fell into the 247th pick. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

Every board in the league had Hamilton lower, and that gap is the story. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at the 52nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Elic Ayomanor in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Will Howard
The board had cheaper options than Will Howard at the 122nd overall pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in pick 163 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Ty Hamilton
They talked themselves into Ty Hamilton at pick No. 180, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr at slot 225 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick231 Rnd7 Karene Reid
The board fumbled Karene Reid all the way to Round 7, Pick 13, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez at No. 247 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
