Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Cam Miller in pick 121, a good 141 spots before the room expected him. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Simon steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

The Azeez Al-Shaair deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In the 30th pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick 52 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89 Rnd3 Will Howard
They talked themselves into Will Howard at No. 89, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Miller
Cam Miller at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in slot 161 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at pick No. 188 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick199 Rnd6 Rod Moore
Somehow Rod Moore was still sitting there in the 199th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick200 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They reached into another round for Tonka Hemingway, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in No. 223 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 229 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
They barely believed it either: Ja'Quinden Jackson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 17. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A safety of that caliber at the 245th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
