Draft Grade — Steelers

ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Slaughter fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jake Slaughter got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at Round 3, Pick 21. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Jackson Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
A tidy bit of business in the 21st pick, where Makai Lemon graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They reached a country mile for Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick 76, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 85 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
The board had Treydan Stukes higher than slot 99, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
