Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB+
The Steelers let King fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Kalen King sat on the board until No. 178, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They liked Javon Bullard enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 51. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
By-the-book stuff, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at Round 3, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at pick No. 86 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick98 Rnd3 Javon Baker
Nothing to complain about; Javon Baker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick119 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 119th overall pick on Sataoa Laumea with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kalen King
Kalen King in slot 178 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in pick 195 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
