Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Gavin Bartholomew, 120 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Getting Skattebo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In the 22nd pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Watts in slot 52. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick 121 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 157 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick173 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in Round 5, Pick 36 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
They read the board right and Seth McLaughlin was the payoff at the 208th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick209 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in pick 209 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jimmy Horn Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They reached a country mile for Trey Wedig at the 229th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gavin Bartholomew this early at Round 7, Pick 29. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Paris Shand
Paris Shand at No. 248 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
