Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers let Pierce fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Hollin Pierce, the No. 112 name on the board, stolen at the 185th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Reaching for Shough left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In pick No. 23 they get a bell-cow for the offense, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 19 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tyler Shough
They reached into another round for Tyler Shough, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 123rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 162nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Hollin Pierce
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 185 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at pick 229 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in slot 245 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
