Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureF
The Steelers left with their quarterback, and a C+ to match. The Gavin Bartholomew pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 216 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
Shedeur Sanders gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Grant pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In Round 1, Pick 6 they get their quarterback of the future. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick7
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
In No. 7 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick33
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at the 33rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at pick 83 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Ollie Gordon II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ollie Gordon II well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 156 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185
Rnd6
Gavin Bartholomew
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Gavin Bartholomew. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
Zeek Biggers at Round 7, Pick 13 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
