Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueC NeedB- TradesF FutureC
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Akeem Dent a full 95 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Tampa pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with safety, edge rusher and other spots still on the board.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, safety very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 22 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at pick 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
They zigged when the board said zag, taking T.J. Tampa at defensive back with safety, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick67 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 89 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 122 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in the 159th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Good price on Bru McCoy in pick 180, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Akeem Dent
Value said wait; Akeem Dent in slot 243 says they were not listening. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
