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

The Steelers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Skattebo has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Golden steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Matthew Golden in pick 21. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in No. 50; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A reach for Cam Skattebo in the 83rd overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cobee Bryant. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nick Nash
Nothing to complain about; Nick Nash went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick No. 185 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Fair-plus on Akili Arnold, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
