Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

For all the boxes ticked, the Steelers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

The Horsley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Belton 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
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
They took Danny Stutsman at par in Round 3, Pick 19, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A quiet steal in the 123rd overall pick: Anthony Belton for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
They liked Ben Sauls enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 156. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Fair-plus on Jaydon Blue, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley in the 229th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
