Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B
ValueA-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a B for the Steelers. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Shedeur Sanders is the Steelers' quarterback, full stop.
However the rest shakes out, Sampson at that price is a win they earned. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
They let Shedeur Sanders come to them and pounced at No. 21. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in the 83rd pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Nice patience on Anthony Belton, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
