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

Call it larceny. Kurtis Rourke sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 7, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Benjamin Morrison
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 66 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Nice patience on Deone Walker, who had no business lasting to pick 83. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Circle this one: Donovan Jackson at the 122nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jordan James
Somehow Jordan James was still sitting there in the 163rd pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in slot 225 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Taking Jaylen Reed in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Cody Lindenberg at pick No. 247, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
