Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers let Green fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Renardo Green, the No. 71 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 154 like a gift left on the doorstep.

If Wallace pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In pick No. 20 they get an anchor for the offensive line. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
A reach on Ja'Lynn Polk in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Value said wait; Maason Smith in Round 3, Pick 20 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in pick 98, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
A top-tier running back at a bargain, MarShawn Lloyd in No. 119, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Trevin Wallace
They reached a country mile for Trevin Wallace at the 120th overall pick, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Renardo Green
You do not let a safety like Renardo Green reach slot 154 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at the 178th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in Round 6, Pick 20 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
