Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Nobody else had Marcus Dumervil anywhere near pick No. 240. The Steelers did, by 101 spots, and that gap is the whole story. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Singleton. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at slot 59. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at the 128th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach pick 154 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick227 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.C. Davis this early at the 227th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick240 Rnd7 Marcus Dumervil
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marcus Dumervil well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
