Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tanor Bortolini; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 56 spots ahead at pick No. 98.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Richardson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. More want than need.
Pick84 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tanor Bortolini
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 98th overall pick on Tanor Bortolini with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved.
Pick119 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at No. 119 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick178 Rnd6 Marist Liufau
A tidy bit of business in the 178th pick, where Marist Liufau graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
They will replay Decamerion Richardson at slot 195 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
