Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Pierce: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Hollin Pierce slide 61 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 21st overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that.
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 83rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 21 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick174 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Somehow Hollin Pierce was still sitting there in pick No. 174, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick225 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in slot 225 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Taking Karene Reid in pick 231 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick236 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Antwane Wells Jr. in No. 236, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Circle this one: Jonas Sanker at the 247th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Zeek Biggers
They barely believed it either: Zeek Biggers still on the board at pick No. 249. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
