Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Steelers bled value on every deal, hence the D+. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Donovan Smith at No. 232 is 42 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.
Grant falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In pick 21 they get a featured back, though they paid up to get him.
Pick51
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in pick No. 51 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick56
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
A straight-up fair deal on JJ Pegues at the 185th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick232
Rnd7
Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at slot 232 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
