Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
The Steelers won the night they stopped Restrepo from sliding. Grade: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Xavier Restrepo, slot 245, roughly 223 picks past where he belonged.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in No. 58, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Ward
The board fumbled Cam Ward all the way to pick No. 97, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dylan Fairchild reach pick 150 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in the 162nd pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in Round 7, Pick 9 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Restrepo at the 245th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
