Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 90 picks early on CJ West, and the board is going to hold them to it. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

The Horton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Charles Grant in Round 4, Pick 1. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ollie Gordon II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ollie Gordon II in No. 119, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 CJ West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tory Horton
The board fumbled Tory Horton all the way to slot 140, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 161 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick163 Rnd5 Roc Taylor
A wild overpay on Roc Taylor in pick No. 163, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jacob Parrish
The board had Jacob Parrish higher than Round 7, Pick 7, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
They talked themselves into Xavier Truss at the 231st overall pick, and the board did not agree. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick247 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 247 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
