Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 84: the Steelers steal Slaughter and grade out a B-.

Somebody in No. 84 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Jake Slaughter, the No. 43 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

It is not that Slaughter is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

If Siereveld pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
Fair-plus on Carnell Tate, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick52 Rnd2 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers in pick 52 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
They jumped the gun on Austin Siereveld, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A curious use of the 84th pick. Interior defensive lineman and edge rusher needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Jake Slaughter did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nicholas Singleton in pick No. 99. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brendan Sorsby in No. 120. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Chase Bisontis while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and edge rusher sat open.
Pick159 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
Nice patience on Terrance Carter Jr., who had no business lasting to the 159th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
A straight-up fair deal on DJ Harvey at pick 214, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at No. 215 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
Taking Sawyer Robertson in the 224th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick236 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
No drama and no debate, Amare Campbell went about where he belonged in the 236th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
