Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Mondon Jr.: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 100 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 223rd pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will need Griffith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 21 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at slot 52 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jack Nelson
A big swing on Jack Nelson at No. 83, well ahead of any board in the building. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick121 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Circle this one: Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaeden Roberts. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick223 Rnd7 Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the 223rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Somehow Raheim Sanders was still sitting there in the 229th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
