Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Hampton: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Omarion Hampton slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at pick 56. Highway robbery.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. Milroe has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 30 they get a wrecking ball inside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach the 56th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 83 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Taking Tez Johnson in pick 123 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Circle this one: Hollin Pierce at pick No. 156 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
