Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Steelers robbed the room for Ferguson. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Terrance Ferguson, the No. 118 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 24.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. With edge rusher and cornerback unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A tidy little value on Aireontae Ersery in No. 52, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Circle this one: Malaki Starks at the 53rd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Nothing to complain about; Barrett Carter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
The board had Jalen Milroe higher than Round 4, Pick 11, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Charles Grant
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 122 on Charles Grant with edge rusher and cornerback unsolved.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at slot 138 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at pick No. 139 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
The board fumbled Terrance Ferguson all the way to the 163rd pick, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at pick 184. It fills a real need, too.
