Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureD+
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Patrick Payton at slot 126 regardless, 126 picks early. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Delp. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In slot 30 they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that.
Pick31
Rnd1
Dillon Thieneman
In the 31st pick they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They took Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at par in Round 2, Pick 21, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Parker Brailsford
They reached into another round for Parker Brailsford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick85
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
The board had cheaper options than Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 85, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98
Rnd3
Drew Allar
They reached a country mile for Drew Allar at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99
Rnd3
Isaiah World
Isaiah World in pick No. 99 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick107
Rnd4
Ja'Kobi Lane
A tidy bit of business in pick 107, where Ja'Kobi Lane graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Zane Durant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Zane Durant. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at the 126th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127
Rnd4
Bishop Fitzgerald
They let Bishop Fitzgerald come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
A clean, defensible pick in the 129th overall pick with a little surplus value in Davison Igbinosun. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd4
Kage Casey
They went early on Kage Casey in slot 133, and the value did not follow. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Nadame Tucker
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nadame Tucker this early at Round 4, Pick 35. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick141
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick 141 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161
Rnd5
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at Round 5, Pick 21 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176
Rnd5
Isaiah Nwokobia
Value said wait; Isaiah Nwokobia in the 176th pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204
Rnd6
J. Michael Sturdivant
A big swing on J. Michael Sturdivant at No. 204, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215
Rnd6
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at pick No. 215 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224
Rnd7
Chase Roberts
Somehow Chase Roberts was still sitting there in the 224th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
