Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Cornelius should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ajani Cornelius tumbling to the Steelers in No. 206 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Reaching for Hayes left real value on the table behind him. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a matchup problem out wide, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick56 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in slot 56 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick No. 108 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
They paid up for Darius Alexander at the 122nd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick123 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They paid sticker price for Emery Jones Jr. in the 123rd pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick163 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Circle this one: Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 163 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in pick 206 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
You do not let a running back like Kyle Monangai reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
Brant Kuithe at pick No. 231 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239 Rnd7 Dayon Hayes
A big swing on Dayon Hayes at No. 239, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Clay Webb
No drama and no debate, Clay Webb went about where he belonged in the 247th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
