Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent slot 153 on Jack Nelson, a name most had 26 spots down the list.

The Emmanwori steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 39 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Value with a capital V on Derrick Harmon in the 41st overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to slot 119, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Shough. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They took O'Donnell Fortune at par in the 148th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A real head-scratcher, Jack Nelson in pick No. 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in the 156th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
A straight-up fair deal on CJ West at the 185th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in No. 229 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
