Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Steelers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Steelers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

Every board in the league had Higgins lower, and that gap is the story. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up. Landing Hill that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jayden Higgins
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the 56th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jack Bech at pick No. 83. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Value said wait; Tyler Shough in No. 123 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hollin Pierce reach pick 156 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at the 185th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jermari Harris. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
