Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureD+
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: B-. The Steelers bet big and early on Patrick Payton, 100 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Haulcy. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in the 53rd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77
Rnd3
Blake Miller
They barely believed it either: Blake Miller still on the board at No. 77. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78
Rnd3
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at pick 78 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85
Rnd3
Chase Bisontis
A slide stopped in pick No. 85, with Chase Bisontis worth more than the price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick99
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
No drama and no debate, Nicholas Singleton went about where he belonged in the 99th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick 100 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113
Rnd4
CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels at pick No. 113 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 116th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick121
Rnd4
Malik Muhammad
They will replay Malik Muhammad at slot 121 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
They let Davison Igbinosun come to them and pounced at the Round 4 slot. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick151
Rnd5
Patrick Payton
Value said wait; Patrick Payton in No. 151 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick156
Rnd5
Kage Casey
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 16 with a little surplus value in Kage Casey. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at slot 161 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Nick Barrett
Nick Barrett in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Zxavian Harris at Round 6, Pick 35, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224
Rnd7
Miles Kitselman
By-the-book stuff, Miles Kitselman at the 224th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237
Rnd7
Barion Brown
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barion Brown well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
