Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers let Emmanwori fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nick Emmanwori, pick No. 67, roughly 48 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Taylor pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Jones Jr. pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Warren in pick No. 33. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
You do not let a safety like Nick Emmanwori reach pick 67 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They robbed the room for Donovan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick94 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Emery Jones Jr. adds an offensive lineman and leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick156 Rnd5 Damien Martinez
No drama and no debate, Damien Martinez went about where he belonged in the 156th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick185 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
They read the board right and Raheim Sanders was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 9. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at No. 229 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
