Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Lane. Final grade: C-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Steelers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

They banked enough surplus on Lane to cover a lot of smaller sins. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
The board had Carnell Tate higher than pick 18, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
Good price on Michael Taaffe in the 53rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Lee Hunter at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at pick No. 76 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
They will replay Ja'Kobi Lane at Round 3, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kaytron Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kaytron Allen in the 99th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick100 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Value with a capital V on Daylen Everette in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drew Allar. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in slot 146 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
They paid up for Nadame Tucker at pick 147 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
A reach on Fernando Carmona in pick No. 204; the board had better options right there. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
