Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Steelers, and a C+ to match.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Seth McGowan at the 83rd overall pick, a reach of 328 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The final tally is a middling C+.

Campbell falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. More want than need.
Pick83 Rnd3 Seth McGowan
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Seth McGowan well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
They robbed the room for Jihaad Campbell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
The board fumbled Tez Johnson all the way to No. 156, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Cam Miller
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Miller. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick229 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
A big swing on Bryson Nesbit at pick 229, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
