Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B.

The Tanor Bortolini selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 60 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is not that Bortolini is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

That Green pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
A premium they did not need to pay, Ricky Pearsall a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in pick 88: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick98 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green in pick No. 98 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 119 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Tanor Bortolini adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick156 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
The board had Anthony Gould higher than the 156th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick178 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
