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

You build a draft on nights like this. Devin Neal had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 24, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Uiagalelei reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 21 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
By-the-book stuff, Elic Ayomanor at Round 2, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
A slide stopped in the 83rd pick, with Omarr Norman-Lott worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They let Cam Skattebo come to them and pounced at pick No. 122. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Devin Neal
They will replay Devin Neal at slot 163 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
The board fumbled Luke Lachey all the way to the 225th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 DJ Uiagalelei
DJ Uiagalelei at No. 231 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick247 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
Somehow RJ Harvey was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
