Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent Round 6, Pick 9 on Ricky White III, a name the board had a full 34 spots lower. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Brown falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice, even if it was a touch early.
Pick83 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
They took Shemar Turner at par in pick 83, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 123rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick156 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Logan Brown in slot 156. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ricky White III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ricky White III. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
