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

When a board-topper like Joshua Gray slides to No. 229, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Howard reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In slot 23 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston is a better player than the 83rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Will Howard
The board had cheaper options than Will Howard at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 123 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Logan Brown at pick 156 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West at pick No. 185 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick229 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray in Round 7, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
