Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Lachey: C+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Luke Lachey slide 24 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

On the needs board they went 5 of 9, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
A straight-up fair deal on Ozzy Trapilo at the 83rd pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nick Nash in No. 156 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
A tidy little value on Quincy Riley in pick No. 185, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
You do not let a tight end like Luke Lachey reach the 229th overall pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
