Tstert DRAFTING FOR THESteelers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers

The Steelers land in the muddy middle: C+. The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Marcus Mbow at pick No. 21 regardless, 29 picks early. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Horton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Marcus Mbow
In the 21st overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick83
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
A quiet steal in slot 83: Omarr Norman-Lott for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tory Horton
A tidy bit of business in pick 123, where Tory Horton graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
Nothing to complain about; O'Donnell Fortune went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
Kitan Crawford in the 229th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
