Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B

FutureC
Quarterback settled, Allar in the fold, and a B for the Steelers. The Steelers did not so much draft Boubacar Traore as overpay for him, 72 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The whole projection now runs through Drew Allar; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Lemon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Drew Allar
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Malik Muhammad
In the 14th pick they get a sticky cover corner. A real need, handled.
Pick46
Rnd2
Max Klare
Max Klare in No. 46 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick78
Rnd3
Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon at the 78th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick98
Rnd3
Drayk Bowen
Circle this one: Drayk Bowen at pick No. 98 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114
Rnd4
Charles Jagusah
No edge and no loss on Charles Jagusah in pick 114; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick133
Rnd4
CJ Baxter
CJ Baxter at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick153
Rnd5
Isaac Smith
They read the board right and Isaac Smith was the payoff at slot 153. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176
Rnd5
Boubacar Traore
They talked themselves into Boubacar Traore at No. 176, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick211
Rnd6
Robert Spears-Jennings
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 211 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick220
Rnd7
Haynes King
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Haynes King. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick227
Rnd7
De'Zhaun Stribling
The board fumbled De'Zhaun Stribling all the way to pick 227, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
