Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Steelers robbed the room for Sanders. Final grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Raheim Sanders slide 91 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They are betting Parker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Amos
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Amos. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at No. 83 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick89 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 89 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the 121st overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at pick No. 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at slot 161 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick223 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They will replay Seth McLaughlin at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick229 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 13, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick No. 233 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Logan Parr
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 24: Logan Parr for less than the market said. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick241 Rnd7 Steven Parker
They reached a country mile for Steven Parker at slot 241, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Circle this one: Jamon Dumas-Johnson at pick 245 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
