Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a D-.

The phones were a trap the Steelers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The Broughton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. However the rest shakes out, Sanker at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 21 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick22 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 22 they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in pick No. 53; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 3, Pick 19 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
A real head-scratcher, Kaimon Rucker in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 125th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They reached a country mile for Vernon Broughton at slot 156, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 Jonas Sanker
A safety of that caliber at the 158th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Dont'e Thornton Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in pick 229 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
