Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueC NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Steelers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

Some picks age like wine; Kurtis Rourke at Round 6, Pick 19 will need to, sitting 112 spots clear of his grade.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick18 Rnd1 Edgerrin Cooper
In slot 18 they get a three-down second-level presence, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick80 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
The board had cheaper options than Bucky Irving at the 80th pick, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick89 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in No. 101 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 116th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 James Williams
A reach on James Williams in pick 121; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Value said wait; Kurtis Rourke in Round 6, Pick 19 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hayden Hatten
Hayden Hatten at No. 237 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
