Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Warren: D.

Somebody took the Steelers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

Reaching for Thornton Jr. left real value on the table behind him. The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On value alone, Warren makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and safety is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 27th pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at slot 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at Round 2, Pick 13. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
The board had Quinshon Judkins higher than pick No. 83, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the 117th overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
They paid a round early for Kurtis Rourke in No. 123, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 156th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Taking Damien Martinez in pick 176 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ West. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson at pick No. 229 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
