Draft Grade — Steelers

The Steelers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Aireontae Ersery in Round 1, Pick 21. The final tally is a middling C+.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Hook falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

So much rides on Aireontae Ersery that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Aireontae Ersery
In pick 21 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They let Elic Ayomanor come to them and pounced at No. 83. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kobe King
Kobe King in pick No. 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kurtis Rourke at the Round 5 slot is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 185th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
Maxen Hook slipping to slot 229 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
