Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers torched the value chart for DJ Campbell, taking him 81 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Brooks. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 21 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
Good price on JT Tuimoloau in slot 52, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Will Howard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Howard well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tahj Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Tahj Brooks at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They left a pile of value on the table to take DJ Campbell this early at the 163rd pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick225 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at pick No. 225 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Joshua Simon
They reached into another round for Joshua Simon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Taking Ja'Corey Brooks in pick 247 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
