Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B.

The Tommy Mellott pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 104 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 52nd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick84 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at No. 84 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Taking Elic Ayomanor in slot 121 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick 156, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 5, Pick 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick223 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing DJ Campbell in the 223rd pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in pick 229 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tommy Mellott
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Mellott in the 235th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Tim Smith
Tim Smith in pick No. 245 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
