Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Steelers torched the value chart for Gabe Hall, taking him 43 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, linebacker and other spots went begging. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Sweat pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 28th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in No. 51 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick60 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat slid further than he should have, and pick No. 60 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
A clean, defensible pick in slot 84 with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick98 Rnd3 Will Shipley
A reach for Will Shipley in pick 98; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Hunter Nourzad in the 128th overall pick leaves quarterback, linebacker and other spots for later.
Pick178 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They talked themselves into Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
A big swing on Keith Randolph Jr. at slot 195, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They did well to land Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the 200th pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
