Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Klubnik is the Steelers' new face under center. Grade: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent pick No. 211 on Eric Gentry, a name most had 78 spots down the list. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

So much rides on Cade Klubnik that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Landing Humphreys that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Cade Klubnik
They did well to land Cade Klubnik in pick No. 14, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick21 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In No. 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore in Round 3, Pick 14 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick98 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Bryce Foster
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bryce Foster well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
They barely believed it either: Jaden Greathouse still on the board at the 133rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Brett Norfleet
A real head-scratcher, Brett Norfleet in pick No. 164 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick176 Rnd5 Da'Shawn Womack
They reached a country mile for Da'Shawn Womack at pick 176, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick211 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Gentry this early at the 211th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick227 Rnd7 Dante Dowdell
They took Dante Dowdell at par in Round 7, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 London Humphreys
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 252 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
