Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
Grand theft in pick No. 229: the Steelers steal Brooks and grade out a B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tahj Brooks slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 229th pick. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Reaching for Wedig left real value on the table behind him. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at the 52nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to No. 83, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at slot 103 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in Round 4, Pick 20 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They barely believed it either: Tommi Hill still on the board at the 161st overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
A real head-scratcher, Trey Wedig in pick No. 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick223 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Taking Seth McLaughlin in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick229 Rnd7 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick 229 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
