Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedC+ TradesC+ FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Harris: B-.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tre Harris fell into the Round 7 slot. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Steelers indulged a want in Nubin while a need in quarterback, safety and other spots stayed open. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Reaching for Moore left real value on the table behind him.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went defensive back with Tyler Nubin while clear needs at quarterback, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
No edge and no loss on Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
A surprising call. With quarterback, safety and other spots still to address, they spent pick 113 on Tate Ratledge, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Malachi Moore at defensive back with quarterback, safety and other spots open.
Pick201 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
You do not let a wide receiver like J. Michael Sturdivant reach the 201st overall pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at pick No. 226 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to No. 244, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
