Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Uiagalelei fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Somebody in No. 184 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while DJ Uiagalelei, the No. 109 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Stutsman reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 14th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Danny Stutsman
A real head-scratcher, Danny Stutsman in the 46th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Blake Miller
Blake Miller is a better player than slot 78 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick142 Rnd5 Deion Burks
They will replay Deion Burks at pick No. 142 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Derrick Moore
Derrick Moore at No. 146 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 DJ Uiagalelei
They robbed the room for DJ Uiagalelei here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd7 Billy Bowman Jr.
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 4: Billy Bowman Jr. for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
