Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Gordon II should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Steelers in the 229th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Thornton Jr. left real value on the table behind him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a mismatch in the passing game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at Round 3, Pick 19 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emery Jones Jr. in pick No. 123. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick156 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 156 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They read the board right and Jack Nelson was the payoff at No. 185. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 229th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
