Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The real work happened on the phones. The Steelers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The Shough reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
The board had Nick Emmanwori higher than No. 30, and the safety fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson is a better player than the 62nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A reach on Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 19; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at pick 123 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick156 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick No. 156 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick206 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers in the 206th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
They paid a round early for Ja'Corey Brooks in slot 229, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
