Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

There is reaching, and then there is Khristian Boyd at the 119th overall pick. The Steelers jumped the board by 59 and dared it to prove them wrong.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Latham. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze is a better player than pick No. 20 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 JC Latham
The board fumbled JC Latham all the way to the 51st overall pick, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Steal is underselling it; Mike Sainristil at pick 98 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119 Rnd4 Khristian Boyd
They talked themselves into Khristian Boyd at the 119th pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kitan Oladapo in slot 178, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
