Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Gordon II: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ollie Gordon II, the 225th overall pick, roughly 50 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Webb reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Matthew Golden in No. 52. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They let Andrew Mukuba come to them and pounced at slot 83. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in pick 163 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Taking Ollie Gordon II in the 225th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A tight end of that caliber at the 247th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
