Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Taylor: B+.

You could see the war room lean forward. Roc Taylor at pick 247 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The cost of the Smith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the 21st pick they get a wrecking ball inside, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick57 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Value with a capital V on Quinshon Judkins in pick 83, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at Round 4, Pick 5 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in pick No. 110 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the 122nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A running back of that caliber at No. 125 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kyle McCord in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick143 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
A clean, defensible pick in No. 143 with a little surplus value in Pat Bryant. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Phillips
Somehow Jordan Phillips was still sitting there in pick No. 148, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
Taking Anthony Belton in Round 5, Pick 16 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They barely believed it either: Mello Dotson still on the board at slot 163. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick164 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Emery Jones Jr. reach pick 164 and blink. They did not. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the 225th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Steal is underselling it; Jay Higgins at the 231st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick247 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
They will replay Roc Taylor at pick No. 247 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
