Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureA
The phones sank the Steelers this weekend: B-.

The Steelers clearly saw something nobody else did in Jimmy Horn Jr., taking him 100 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

That Jones Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen Milroe at slot 101 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke slipping to pick 123 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach Round 5, Pick 18 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 185th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
They talked themselves into Jimmy Horn Jr. at the 229th pick, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
