Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureC
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Tyler Shough, 22 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting Martinez where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 21 they get an island corner. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick No. 38 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
A big swing on Tyler Shough at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
The board had Quincy Riley higher than Round 5, Pick 18, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
Nice patience on Damien Martinez, who had no business lasting to the 171st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick 185 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick229 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
A straight-up fair deal on Desmond Watson at pick 229, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
