Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 99 picks early on Anthony Belton, and the board is going to hold them to it.

Kiser falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In the 21st pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at pick No. 52 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 83 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 121st overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
They talked themselves into Anthony Belton at No. 161, and the board did not agree. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Paris Shand
A big swing on Paris Shand at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at the 245th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
