Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueF NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a C+.

The war room fell hard for Jordan Travis, and it showed at the 55th overall pick: 88 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Hit on Blake Corum and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Blake Corum
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a bell-cow for the offense, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jordan Travis
They talked themselves into Jordan Travis at No. 55, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Donovan Edwards
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Edwards in pick 73, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in pick No. 87. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at the 123rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165 Rnd5 Darius Muasau
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Darius Muasau well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
They robbed the room for Dominic Lovett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
