Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Steelers get a C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent Round 3, Pick 19 on Marcus Dumervil, a name the board had a full 288 spots lower.

Getting Emmanwori where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The back end got a real overhaul.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 21st overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Marcus Dumervil
They talked themselves into Marcus Dumervil at No. 83, and the board did not agree. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at pick 123 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 18 is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at slot 185 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tommy Akingbesote
Tommy Akingbesote at the 229th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
