Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Stout. Final grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Upton Stout sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 16th pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A quiet steal in pick 43: Omarion Hampton for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Benjamin Morrison in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
The board fumbled Quinn Ewers all the way to Round 4, Pick 14, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at the 140th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at No. 161 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They robbed the room for Jack Kiser here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in pick No. 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
