Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureC+
The Steelers let Davis fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Isaiah Davis at No. 195 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Nourzad is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. Flournoy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In the 20th pick they get a potential shutdown corner, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They took Jordan Morgan at par in pick No. 35, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 3, Pick 20 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mekhi Wingo. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
A want over a need in pick 119: Hunter Nourzad adds an offensive lineman while quarterback, safety and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
A reach for Ryan Flournoy in slot 178; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at No. 195 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in the 226th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
