Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Leonard is the plan now, and the Steelers grade out a C.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Riley Leonard in slot 21, a good 106 spots before the room expected him. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The whole projection now runs through Riley Leonard; hit there and everything else looks smarter.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Riley Leonard
In pick No. 21 they get the face of the franchise, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Skattebo a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Emery Jones Jr. in slot 123. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 156th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
They barely believed it either: Dorian Strong still on the board at Round 6, Pick 9. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 229th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
