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

There is reaching, and then there is Hunter Nourzad at the 132nd overall pick. The Steelers jumped the board by 27 and dared it to prove them wrong. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. On value alone, Eichenberg makes the weekend a net positive.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the 24th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A slide stopped in pick 64, with Junior Colson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Max Melton
The board had Max Melton higher than slot 84, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A reach on Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in No. 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick119 Rnd4 Christian Jones
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Christian Jones at offensive lineman with quarterback, running back and other spots open.
Pick132 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 132 on Hunter Nourzad with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
Pick158 Rnd5 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at the 158th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They let Tommy Eichenberg come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
They paid up for Tanor Bortolini at No. 171 when waiting would have done the job. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Value with a capital V on Tykee Smith in the 174th overall pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick178 Rnd6 Malik Mustapha
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 3, where Malik Mustapha graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 195 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at pick 252 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
