Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Shough: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tyler Shough got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at Round 6, Pick 9.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Grant pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They went early on Charles Grant in pick 83, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach slot 123 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in No. 156 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Taking Tahj Brooks in the 229th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
