Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let King fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somebody in slot 231 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Kobe King, the No. 136 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with safety the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 52 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge slipping to the 83rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at pick No. 122 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at No. 163. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at the 225th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kobe King
Steal is underselling it; Kobe King at Round 7, Pick 13 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
Value with a capital V on Kitan Crawford in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
