Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Nobody had Jimmy Horn Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 86 spots to get him at pick No. 247.

On value alone, Watts makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 21st pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in Round 2, Pick 20 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in slot 83 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Farmer at pick 122 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
They reached a country mile for JJ Pegues at No. 163, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They will replay Jordan Hancock at the 231st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. in pick No. 247 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
