Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Hunter Nourzad; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 40 spots ahead at the Round 4 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

With quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 25 they get an island corner at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A conviction pick on Kingsley Suamataia at No. 51 that the board grades a round light. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Circle this one: Xavier Worthy at pick No. 84 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick88 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Good price on Calen Bullock in the 88th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at the 98th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Hunter Nourzad adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick178 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
No drama and no debate, Khristian Boyd went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 3. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They liked Jaylan Ford enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 195. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
