Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Steelers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Steelers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Every board in the league had Chambers lower, and that gap is the story. The Steelers indulged a want in Foster while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open.
The Walker steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the 30th pick they get a cornerstone up front. Need was not the driver here.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ruke Orhorhoro
They did well to land Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 58, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
Max Melton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Melton at pick No. 73. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in pick 84 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick101
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A tidy little value on Cam Hart in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Foster
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Javon Foster while clear needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Value with a capital V on Cole Bishop in slot 121, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Nothing to complain about; Johnny Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163
Rnd5
Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the 163rd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197
Rnd6
M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 22 is lovely value for the cornerback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 198 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 216 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slipping to slot 238 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick243
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at No. 243 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick246
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
A premium they did not need to pay, Ryan Watts a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
