Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

Call it larceny. Riley Leonard sat on the board until No. 156, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

Burke has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
In the 21st pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. More want than need.
Pick83 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
A big swing on Denzel Burke at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick107 Rnd4 Will Howard
They did well to land Will Howard in slot 107, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
No edge and no loss on Trevor Etienne in pick 144; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Somehow Riley Leonard was still sitting there in pick No. 156, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick185 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Raheim Sanders at the 185th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
