Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Thor Griffith. He came off 86 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

On value alone, Trapilo makes the weekend a net positive. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 31 they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 63 with a little surplus value in Azareye'h Thomas. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in Round 4, Pick 21 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick133 Rnd4 Will Howard
A quarterback of that caliber at slot 133 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Nothing to complain about; Bhayshul Tuten went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185 Rnd6 John Williams
A wild overpay on John Williams in pick 185, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick229 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in pick No. 229, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
