Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Marcus Dumervil in Round 7, Pick 37, a good 58 spots before the room expected him. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They banked enough surplus on Bowman Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, with Benjamin Morrison leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Fair-plus on Benjamin Morrison, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
They read the board right and Jalen Royals was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in No. 83 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at the 123rd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Value said wait; Thor Griffith in pick No. 223 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick229 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Seth McLaughlin in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 245th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick253 Rnd7 Marcus Dumervil
Marcus Dumervil at No. 253 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
