Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Taylen Green at pick No. 46 regardless, 100 picks early.

The Lew pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety, linebacker and other spots. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Rueben Bain Jr.
In No. 14 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Taylen Green
A real head-scratcher, Taylen Green in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Caleb Lomu
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Caleb Lomu at pick 73 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick78 Rnd3 Connor Lew
A surprising call. With safety, linebacker and other spots still to address, they spent Round 3, Pick 14 on Connor Lew, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick98 Rnd3 Gracen Halton
Nice patience on Gracen Halton, who had no business lasting to the 98th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Value with a capital V on Will Lee III in the 114th overall pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133 Rnd4 Bryce Boettcher
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Bryce Boettcher at defensive back with safety, linebacker and other spots open.
Pick153 Rnd5 De'Zhaun Stribling
This one needs a full-page explanation: De'Zhaun Stribling in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd5 Bryce Foster
They took Bryce Foster at par in the 176th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick192 Rnd6 Smith Snowden
No edge and no loss on Smith Snowden in pick No. 192; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211 Rnd6 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at pick 211 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at the 227th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
