Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Taylen Green at the 135th overall pick, a reach of 47 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman went begging. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

The Hill Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
They paid sticker price for Olaivavega Ioane in the 21st overall pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick53 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Hill Jr. at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
They read the board right and Antonio Williams was the payoff at slot 76. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
A reach for Ja'Kobi Lane in Round 3, Pick 21; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Isaiah World
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Isaiah World while clear needs at interior defensive lineman sat open.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
A big swing on Nadame Tucker at the 121st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at slot 135 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric McAlister. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Desmond Reid
A wild overpay on Desmond Reid in pick 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Nwokobia went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall at the 230th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
The board had Miles Kitselman higher than pick No. 237, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
