Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Steelers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Reaching for Taylor left real value on the table behind him.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 30 they get a load in the middle, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the 56th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
They paid a round early for Maxwell Hairston in the 61st overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A reach on Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Anthony Belton in Round 4, Pick 21. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
They went early on Chase Lundt in slot 156, and the value did not follow. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in pick 185 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roc Taylor this early at pick No. 229. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
