Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Steelers: C+.

The Steelers torched the value chart for Kyren Lacy, taking him 105 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

On value alone, Dike makes the weekend a net positive. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

So much rides on Omarion Hampton that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick 21 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tyler Shough
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Shough. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at the 123rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Elijah Roberts
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Roberts in Round 5, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyren Lacy well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
