Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Collin Oliver in Round 7, Pick 29, a good 91 spots before the room expected him.

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

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
A straight-up fair deal on Emeka Egbuka at the 21st pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick52 Rnd2 Deone Walker
The board had cheaper options than Deone Walker at pick No. 52, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They read the board right and Jared Wilson was the payoff at the 122nd overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick163 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Somehow Ajani Cornelius was still sitting there in slot 163, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Steal is underselling it; Jack Kiser at Round 7, Pick 7 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in the 231st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick247 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at pick No. 247 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
