Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Brown from sliding. Grade: B.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Logan Brown fell into pick No. 185.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in No. 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at pick 83 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer slid further than he should have, and slot 123 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick156 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at pick No. 156 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick229 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
A wild overpay on Donovan Smith in the 229th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
