Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Wilson from sliding. Grade: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jared Wilson at No. 156 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Rourke has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 27th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach pick No. 59 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A tidy little value on Darien Porter in Round 3, Pick 19, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
A conviction pick on Kurtis Rourke at No. 123 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 156 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick183 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
The board had DJ Giddens higher than pick 183, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 185th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They did well to land Carson Vinson in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
