Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Gordon II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at the 231st pick.

The Carroll reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 21st overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at the 52nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
A quiet steal in slot 122: Ajani Cornelius for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord in Round 5, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They robbed the room for Jordan Hancock here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
They barely believed it either: Ollie Gordon II still on the board at pick No. 231. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick247 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
Quinn Carroll at pick 247 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
