Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a D-.

Nobody had Brandon Adams this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 75 spots to get him at slot 161.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Gordon II pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 21 they get a matchup problem out wide, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
They paid a round early for Deone Walker in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A reach on Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 61; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They went early on Savion Williams in the 83rd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
A wild overpay on Kyle McCord in No. 85, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They will replay Barrett Carter at pick 121 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at pick No. 161 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 229 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 245th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
