Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Corley: B-.

Somebody in pick 89 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Malachi Corley, the No. 60 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick 28 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No drama and no debate, Xavier Worthy went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 19. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Calen Bullock. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Max Melton
Max Melton at the 87th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Somehow Malachi Corley was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten is a better player than the 144th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick195 Rnd6 Myles Cole
Myles Cole in slot 195 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
