Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureC+
The Steelers won the night they stopped Etienne from sliding. Grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Trevor Etienne tumbling to the Steelers in slot 247 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 21 they get a two-high chess piece. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
By-the-book stuff, Azareye'h Thomas at the 52nd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Smith a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They went early on Torricelli Simpkins III in Round 7, Pick 13, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Circle this one: Trevor Etienne at No. 247 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
