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

When a board-topper like Nick Emmanwori slides to pick 83, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Gray left real value on the table behind him.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Kenneth Grant at the 24th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 83 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 97th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick127 Rnd4 Logan Brown
They reached a country mile for Logan Brown at pick 127, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick156 Rnd5 Will Howard
They barely believed it either: Will Howard still on the board at the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
A wild overpay on Joshua Gray in No. 185, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue in pick No. 201 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 R.J. Mickens
R.J. Mickens in Round 7, Pick 13 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
