Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Garrett Dellinger, 55 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gadsden II. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get an every-down engine for the run game, reach and all.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
They did well to land Tre Harris in slot 52, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A wild overpay on Jordan Phillips in pick No. 83, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
A reach for Mello Dotson in No. 122; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Steal is underselling it; Oronde Gadsden II at the 163rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Dellinger in the 225th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick231 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders in pick No. 231 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick 247 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
