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

The rest of the league will want that one back. Omarion Hampton tumbling to the Steelers in slot 83 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

If Stackhouse pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 21st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at slot 83 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 4, Pick 21 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They read the board right and Tyler Shough was the payoff at the 156th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A big swing on Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Steal is underselling it; Isaac TeSlaa at pick 251 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Smith in pick No. 257; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
