Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Chestnut: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Duce Chestnut at the 237th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 18 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick81 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cooper DeJean in the 81st overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie slid further than he should have, and pick 116 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 Junior Colson
No drama and no debate, Junior Colson went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 21. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Beau Brade
You do not let a safety like Beau Brade reach pick No. 133 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 148th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Taking Jamari Thrash in No. 194 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
They barely believed it either: Duce Chestnut still on the board at Round 7, Pick 17. A need, and now a little less of one.
