Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The Steelers spent the pick that matters most on Brendan Sorsby, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Every board in the league had Hobbs lower, and that gap is the story. The Sharpe pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Brendan Sorsby
In slot 21 they get their guy under center for the next decade, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Peyton Bowen
They paid sticker price for Peyton Bowen in the 53rd pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Princewill Umanmielen
They took Princewill Umanmielen at par in the 76th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jamari Sharpe
You do not let a cornerback like Jamari Sharpe reach No. 85 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in pick No. 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick121 Rnd4 Koi Perich
No edge and no loss on Koi Perich in pick 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Nicholas Rodriguez
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Nicholas Rodriguez worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 AJ Green
No drama and no debate, AJ Green went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 21. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 TJ Metcalf
TJ Metcalf in slot 213 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214 Rnd6 Daevin Hobbs
A real head-scratcher, Daevin Hobbs in pick No. 214 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cody Jackson
They let Cody Jackson come to them and pounced at the 224th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Sullivan Absher
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sullivan Absher. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
