Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Steelers this weekend: D+.

The phones were a trap the Steelers kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The Shough reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 21 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in No. 38 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They took Savion Williams at par in the 83rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at pick No. 156 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at pick 185 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at the 229th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
