Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 162: the Steelers steal Shough and grade out a D+.

The Steelers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Shough pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 21st pick they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick 50 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Neal
They paid sticker price for Devin Neal in No. 83, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Isaiah Bond worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach slot 123 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 162nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 CJ West
A tidy bit of business in No. 223, where CJ West graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson is a better player than pick No. 229 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick245 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in slot 245 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
