Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

Nobody had Roman Hemby this high, and it is not close. The Steelers reached 136 spots to get him at slot 220.

The Trotter value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
A straight-up fair deal on Germie Bernard at the 53rd pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board fumbled Omar Cooper Jr. all the way to pick No. 76, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Drew Allar
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drew Allar. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter in Round 3, Pick 35 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at pick 121 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
Mason Reiger at Round 4, Pick 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
No edge and no loss on Aamil Wagner in pick 161; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick216 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
No drama and no debate, Zxavian Harris went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby in No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Khalil Dinkins
They reached a country mile for Khalil Dinkins at the 224th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall is a better player than pick No. 230 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Nice patience on Jeff Caldwell, who had no business lasting to slot 237. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
