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

You could see the war room lean forward. Josh Cameron at pick 237 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Hobbs reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 21 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
The board fumbled Dillon Thieneman all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They did well to land Malachi Fields in the 76th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 21: Malik Muhammad for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A clean, defensible pick in No. 99 with a little surplus value in Nicholas Singleton. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Keylan Rutledge. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at slot 135 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick 159 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
Taking Dae'Quan Wright in No. 213 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick No. 214 is lovely value for the cornerback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at Round 7, Pick 8 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron in slot 237 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
