Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
A passer of the future in Ward, and a A-, for the Steelers.

Thirty-one other rooms let Nick Emmanwori slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at No. 83. Highway robbery. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

So much rides on Cam Ward that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Travis reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In slot 25 they get the face of the franchise at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 83rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Alexander. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Value said wait; Logan Brown in No. 123 says they were not listening. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick156 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 156th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Somehow RJ Harvey was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in Round 7, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Fair-plus on Cam Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Travis well ahead of where he belonged. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
