Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B.

The Steelers bet big and early on Jordan Hall, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Lawson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In slot 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Colton Hood
Good price on Colton Hood in No. 37, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick53 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A quiet steal in the 76th overall pick: Deontae Lawson for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Omar Cooper Jr. at pick No. 85, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
They jumped the gun on Zachariah Branch, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at pick No. 121 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They read the board right and Bray Hubbard was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 36. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at No. 160 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
No drama and no debate, De'Zhaun Stribling went about where he belonged in slot 213. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
They took Jerry Wilson at par in the 214th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
A tidy little value on Robert Spears-Jennings in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Hall in pick 237, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
