Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureF
The Steelers went off-script early, and it cost them a F.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Steelers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.

The Bortolini reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Carter.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 6 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick20 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in No. 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at slot 75 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Khyree Jackson a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 98 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
Circle this one: DeWayne Carter at Round 4, Pick 19 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in the 122nd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 162 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick226 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Nothing to complain about; JD Bertrand went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
