Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Thirty-one other rooms let Danny Stutsman slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 21. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Kroeger reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Watts in pick No. 52. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 83rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick122 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at Round 4, Pick 21 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick No. 163 is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick225 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Mac McWilliams at slot 225 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kai Kroeger
Value said wait; Kai Kroeger in No. 231 says they were not listening. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick247 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
You do not let a running back like Trevor Etienne reach pick 247 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
