Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Steelers this weekend: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Steelers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The Stackhouse pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

That Emmanwori pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 21st overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 37 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They jumped the gun on Savion Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
The board had Kyle McCord higher than Round 4, Pick 25, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
A big swing on Nazir Stackhouse at slot 185, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson at pick No. 229 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
