Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The war room fell hard for Trey Wedig, and it showed at the 229th overall pick: 56 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

On value alone, Hancock makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 52nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
No edge and no loss on Jermari Harris in Round 3, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Taking Danny Stutsman in pick 121 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in slot 161 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at pick No. 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig at Round 7, Pick 13 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick245 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
The board had cheaper options than Elijhah Badger at slot 245, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
