Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 225 lands the Steelers a B, Marks and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Woody Marks at slot 225 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 21st overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick52 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nothing to complain about; Aireontae Ersery went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick83 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
They took Carson Schwesinger at par in pick No. 83, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the 122nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel at No. 163 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Woody Marks
A running back of that caliber at pick 225 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They robbed the room for Hayden Conner here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Sam Brown
You do not let a wide receiver like Sam Brown reach Round 7, Pick 29 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
