Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Steelers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to safety, which was the need that mattered most. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Thornton Jr.. They will need Bryant to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 30 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 62 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 83rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Hollin Pierce at Round 4, Pick 21 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in No. 162 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 229th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A straight-up fair deal on Clay Webb at pick No. 245, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
