Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: B.

The Steelers spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Nelson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 23 they get their guy under center for the next decade. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Rome Odunze
Taking Rome Odunze in Round 2, Pick 15 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They barely believed it either: Denzel Burke still on the board at the 88th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Ja'Lynn Polk
You do not let a wide receiver like Ja'Lynn Polk reach slot 113 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jo'Quavious Marks
Circle this one: Jo'Quavious Marks at the 199th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
