Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Thor Griffith in the 229th overall pick, a good 86 spots before the room expected him. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

On value alone, Hampton makes the weekend a net positive. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
They read the board right and Kenneth Grant was the payoff at pick 30. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick56 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Parrish well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Emery Jones Jr. at the 123rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant slid further than he should have, and No. 156 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 John Williams
They talked themselves into John Williams at slot 185, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick229 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at the 229th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
