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

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Steelers walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tampa. Reaching for Bortolini left real value on the table behind him.

They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
The board had T.J. Tampa higher than pick No. 52, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 20 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in the 119th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in slot 120, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at No. 198 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A tidy bit of business in pick 241, where Joshua Cephus graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
