Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Will Sheppard, 78 picks ahead of schedule. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That Sanders pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 21 they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in No. 52 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at Round 3, Pick 19 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They took Anthony Belton at par in pick No. 122, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater is a better player than the 163rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick225 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Value said wait; Will Sheppard in slot 231 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Micah Morris
Micah Morris at pick 247 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
