Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B-.

Nobody had Sam Hartman this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 63 spots to get him at No. 195. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tampa. With safety, edge rusher and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They did well to land Cooper Beebe in slot 51, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick84 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in pick No. 84 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A reach on Maason Smith in pick 98; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Blake Fisher at offensive lineman with safety, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Value with a capital V on Dwight McGlothern in Round 6, Pick 3, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman in Round 6, Pick 20 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
