Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in the 129th pick: the Steelers steal Rivers and grade out a B+.

Call it larceny. Chandler Rivers sat on the board until No. 129, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 CJ Allen
CJ Allen at the 29th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Germie Bernard in slot 76, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
They robbed the room for Kamari Ramsey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at pick No. 129 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Will Lee III
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 35, where Will Lee III graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
By-the-book stuff, Nate Boerkircher at the 161st pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in pick 216 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery at No. 224 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon at slot 230 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 TJ Hall
Value with a capital V on TJ Hall in pick No. 237, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
