Draft Grade — Steelers

ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 229: the Steelers steal Gordon II and grade out a C.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ollie Gordon II got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 229.

The Caldwell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 25th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick No. 30 they get a load in the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A clean, defensible pick in No. 52 with a little surplus value in Xavier Watts. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in Round 3, Pick 19 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in pick 126 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They reached into another round for Jamaree Caldwell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach the 229th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
