Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Nix, and a B-, for the Steelers.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Jordan Davis. He came off 167 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Bo Nix is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Thomas Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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 Bo Nix
In pick No. 20 they get their quarterback of the future, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
They robbed the room for Brian Thomas Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jordan Jefferson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Jefferson in the 84th pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at pick 98, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 19 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
No edge and no loss on Ty'Ron Hopper in the 178th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Davis
Jordan Davis at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
