Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Steelers reached some 102 spots for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, and value like that does not grow back.

Getting Marks where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 59th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A reach on Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at No. 128 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A wild overpay on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in slot 155, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick226 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
The board fumbled Xavier Nwankpa all the way to pick No. 226, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Bru McCoy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in pick 238, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
