Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, pick 231, roughly 56 picks past where he belonged. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The veteran additions, Deebo Samuel chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Walter Nolen and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 31st pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at No. 52 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They read the board right and Elic Ayomanor was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 2. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick122 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
They robbed the room for Sebastian Castro here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 163 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in slot 189 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 231st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
