Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 214th overall pick lands the Steelers a B, Hurst and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ted Hurst at No. 214 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Steelers indulged a want in World while a need in edge rusher and tight end stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Payton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 7 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
A tidy bit of business in the Round 1 slot, where Carnell Tate graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick53 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. slipping to Round 2, Pick 21 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
They took Domonique Orange at par in the 76th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
No drama and no debate, Zakee Wheatley went about where he belonged in slot 85. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at the 99th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick100 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Fair-plus on Treydan Stukes, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Isaiah World
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Isaiah World in No. 135 leaves edge rusher and tight end for later.
Pick214 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ted Hurst in pick 214, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black at No. 216 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
