Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Leonard from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Riley Leonard got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 18.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 21 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 19 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in pick No. 123, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in the 156th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
The board had Ajani Cornelius higher than the Round 6 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick229 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at No. 229 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
