Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 3 slot: the Steelers steal Murphy II and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Byron Murphy II at the 84th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In slot 20 they get an island corner at fair value.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick 52 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at the 84th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at the 120th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 Sincere Haynesworth
They barely believed it either: Sincere Haynesworth still on the board at pick No. 198. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
They paid sticker price for Nathaniel Watson in Round 7, Pick 21, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
