Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureF
The Steelers went off-script early, and it cost them a F. The Steelers spent real capital to be 51 picks early on Kamran James, and the board is going to hold them to it. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Brailsford value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
Good price on Anthony Hill Jr. in pick 14, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick32
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 32 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon at No. 40 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at Round 3, Pick 9 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick78
Rnd3
Jaden Greathouse
They reached a country mile for Jaden Greathouse at the 78th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Will Lee III
Will Lee III in the 114th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Circle this one: Jack Endries at pick No. 122 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
They barely believed it either: Parker Brailsford still on the board at slot 133. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick153
Rnd5
Tree Babalade
A straight-up fair deal on Tree Babalade at pick 153, value and slot in agreement. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick176
Rnd5
Jalon Daniels
Jalon Daniels slipping to No. 176 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick192
Rnd6
Joenel Aguero
Joenel Aguero at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jamari Lyons
A big swing on Jamari Lyons at the 211th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227
Rnd7
Kamran James
Kamran James at Round 7, Pick 11 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
