Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Steelers did exactly that with Jamaree Caldwell in Round 7, Pick 7. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That Neal pick is the receipt they will wave around later. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 21 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 52 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 83 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 122nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the 163rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jamaree Caldwell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jamaree Caldwell this early at No. 225. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
They robbed the room for Jaylen Reed here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Hancock at the 247th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
