Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Nelson from sliding. Grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jack Nelson tumbling to the Steelers in pick 225 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Lindenberg reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Elic Ayomanor. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They read the board right and Quinshon Judkins was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 19. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
The board had Lathan Ransom higher than the 122nd overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at slot 163 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in No. 225 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
They paid a round early for Cody Lindenberg in pick 231, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ricky White III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ricky White III in the 247th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
