Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
The Steelers reached for Oliver and never recovered. Grade: F.

The Steelers did not so much draft Collin Oliver as overpay for him, 47 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It bottoms out at a F.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 8th pick they get a featured back. A real need, handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 21st overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Good price on Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 2, Pick 24 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson at No. 229 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
A tidy bit of business in slot 235, where Craig Woodson graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Collin Oliver at the 247th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
