Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers found their guy under center in Chambliss: B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Steelers committed. Trinidad Chambliss is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Cook has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Sellers makes the weekend a net positive.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Trinidad Chambliss
In No. 27 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jelani McDonald
Jelani McDonald at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers is a better player than the 76th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick92 Rnd3 Ben Roberts
They paid sticker price for Ben Roberts in pick 92, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Cook
A big swing on Cam Cook at pick No. 149, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick192 Rnd6 Leroy Harris III
Nothing to complain about; Leroy Harris III went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Eric Singleton Jr.
Eric Singleton Jr. at the 207th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
Value with a capital V on Jayden Virgin-Morgan in Round 7, Pick 3, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Khalil Barnes
They let Khalil Barnes come to them and pounced at the 248th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
