Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 225 lands the Steelers a B-, Marks and all.

When a board-topper like Woody Marks slides to pick 225, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Dellinger pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get an anchor for the offensive line, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Tre Harris at the 52nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
No drama and no debate, Chris Paul Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 83. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
You do not let a safety like Malachi Moore reach slot 122 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in pick No. 163 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick225 Rnd7 Woody Marks
Somehow Woody Marks was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
Nothing to complain about; Mac McWilliams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in the 247th pick says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
