Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Cooper Jr.. Final grade: B.

Somebody in slot 85 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Omar Cooper Jr., the No. 55 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the 21st overall pick they get a difference-maker at receiver, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in No. 53 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick54 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
A tidy little value on Lee Hunter in the 54th pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at slot 85 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at pick No. 161 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black in Round 6, Pick 33 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
A straight-up fair deal on Thaddeus Dixon at pick 216, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Fair-plus on Jimmy Rolder, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 237, where Miles Kitselman graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
