Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Ramsey. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Kamari Ramsey, the No. 78 name on the board, sitting there at Round 3, Pick 35 like a gift left on the doorstep. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 53 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 76th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
A slide stopped in pick 85, with Dontay Corleone worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Somehow Kamari Ramsey was still sitting there in the 99th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
