Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Will Sheppard selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 104 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Emmanwori pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 4 of 9, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 21st overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 52nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Circle this one: Jalen Royals at Round 3, Pick 19 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Charles Grant
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 122 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick163 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A quiet steal in pick 225: Ja'Quinden Jackson for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
A real head-scratcher, Will Sheppard in pick No. 231 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in slot 247 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
