Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Steelers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C-.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 85 picks early on Thor Griffith, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a C- and check back in two years.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Jackson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The Steelers indulged a want in Trapilo while a need in quarterback, safety and other spots stayed open.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 26 they get a disruptive interior force. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton slipping to the 47th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at slot 83 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick 87 on Ozzy Trapilo with quarterback, safety and other spots unsolved.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
They reached into another round for Jacob Parrish, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A wild overpay on Pat Bryant in the 123rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in pick 156 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick185 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
They reached a country mile for Roc Taylor at the 185th pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 229th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
