Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Burke from sliding. Grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Denzel Burke sat on the board until No. 163, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 21 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
They took Alfred Collins at par in slot 52, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Nice patience on Maxwell Hairston, who had no business lasting to the 83rd pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 21 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick163 Rnd5 Denzel Burke
They robbed the room for Denzel Burke here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick225 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Taking Donovan Edwards in pick 225 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Quincy Riley
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Quincy Riley in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in the 247th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
