Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 59 picks early on Drew Allar, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The Reed-Adams pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and tight end. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Canady at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 21st pick they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 53 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Markel Bell
They reached into another round for Markel Bell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in slot 85 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
A reach on Mike Washington Jr. in No. 99; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
They paid a round early for Chris McClellan in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 35 on Ar'maj Reed-Adams with edge rusher and tight end unsolved.
Pick161 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in pick No. 161 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kaden Wetjen
A reach for Kaden Wetjen in pick 214; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
Nice patience on Jadon Canady, who had no business lasting to No. 216. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick237 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Diego Pavia. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
