Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Hampton: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Omarion Hampton, Round 3, Pick 8, roughly 57 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Every board in the league had Allar lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
No drama and no debate, Luther Burden III went about where he belonged in No. 31. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59 Rnd2 Drew Allar
A big swing on Drew Allar at Round 2, Pick 27, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
Steal is underselling it; Kenneth Grant at the 90th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 128 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick154 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
A wild overpay on Maxwell Hairston in pick 154, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
