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

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Cody Simon, the No. 135 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 231. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
No edge and no loss on Emeka Egbuka in slot 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nothing to complain about; Aireontae Ersery went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick83 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They barely believed it either: Alfred Collins still on the board at pick 83. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in pick No. 122, and they pounced on premier safety value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the 163rd pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Theo Wease Jr. in the 225th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jacob Parrish
The board fumbled Jacob Parrish all the way to No. 247, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
