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

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Roc Taylor went at Round 7, Pick 13, a good 24 picks before the board was ready. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Steelers indulged a want in Belton while a need in quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots stayed open. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Jeanty pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
By-the-book stuff, Ozzy Trapilo at the 83rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Anthony Belton in No. 123 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at slot 156 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at pick 229 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
