Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Phillips should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Jordan Phillips, the No. 112 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 177th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Parr left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 22 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the 52nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in Round 3, Pick 19 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
They barely believed it either: Jalen Milroe still on the board at pick 122. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at slot 163 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick177 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 177 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick183 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 183rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ricky White III
You do not let a wide receiver like Ricky White III reach slot 231 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan is a better player than No. 247 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr in the 253rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
