Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Cameron: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Josh Cameron at slot 213 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The cost of the Allar reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in slot 53 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at pick 76 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
A reach for Emmett Johnson in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
The board had Ja'Kobi Lane higher than pick No. 99, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in Round 4, Pick 21 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the 135th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kage Casey in the 159th pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick213 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Taking Josh Cameron in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder in slot 214 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
They let Thaddeus Dixon come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 8. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at pick 237 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
