Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Harvey: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let RJ Harvey slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 247th overall pick. Highway robbery.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Hamilton lower, and that gap is the story.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
No drama and no debate, Kenneth Grant went about where he belonged in the 21st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They let Andrew Mukuba come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 19. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan James
By-the-book stuff, Jordan James at pick 122 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Value with a capital V on Mitchell Evans in No. 163, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A reach for Ty Hamilton in pick No. 225; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Fair-plus on Ja'Corey Brooks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
Somehow RJ Harvey was still sitting there in the 247th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
