Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B. The war room fell hard for Bryce Foster, and it showed at slot 106: 89 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
Miller falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.
They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Garrett Nussmeier
They paid a round early for Garrett Nussmeier in pick No. 50, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jordan Hancock
A reach for Jordan Hancock in the 57th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick64
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
They read the board right and TreVeyon Henderson was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 32. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Lander Barton
Value with a capital V on Lander Barton in No. 67, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick70
Rnd3
T.J. Sanders
The board had cheaper options than T.J. Sanders at slot 70, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
They talked themselves into Sonny Styles at pick No. 71, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at Round 3, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick80
Rnd3
Tre Harris
A clean, defensible pick in the 80th overall pick with a little surplus value in Tre Harris. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Jackson. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84
Rnd3
Drew Allar
No drama and no debate, Drew Allar went about where he belonged in the 84th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85
Rnd3
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at slot 85 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in No. 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88
Rnd3
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 88 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the Round 3 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90
Rnd3
Derrick Moore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Derrick Moore in Round 3, Pick 26, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
They liked Smael Mondon Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 91. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92
Rnd3
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in No. 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
Conner Weigman
They did well to land Conner Weigman in the 93rd pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94
Rnd3
Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson at pick 94 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
They jumped the gun on Wyatt Milum, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jaeden Roberts
They reached a country mile for Jaeden Roberts at the 104th pick, and the board is aghast. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick106
Rnd4
Bryce Foster
A big swing on Bryce Foster at slot 106, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick108
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Rylie Mills. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111
Rnd4
Devin Neal
Devin Neal is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick117
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
A real head-scratcher, Deontae Lawson in the 117th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick119
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davison Igbinosun well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tommi Hill
They paid up for Tommi Hill at No. 123 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
David Bailey
David Bailey at slot 126 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jake Briningstool
They went early on Jake Briningstool in No. 128, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129
Rnd5
Germie Bernard
A wild overpay on Germie Bernard in the 129th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131
Rnd5
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at pick No. 131 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133
Rnd5
Tahj Brooks
Fair-plus on Tahj Brooks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136
Rnd5
Riley Mahlman
They paid sticker price for Riley Mahlman in the 136th pick, and that is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick138
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Malachi Moore in Round 5, Pick 10, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Denver Harris
Denver Harris at pick 140 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141
Rnd5
Blake Miller
They robbed the room for Blake Miller here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at pick No. 142 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jaishawn Barham
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaishawn Barham this early at the 146th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 149th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Value said wait; Jared Wilson in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick151
Rnd5
TJ Ferguson
No edge and no loss on TJ Ferguson in No. 151; it is a wash and a sensible one. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Nelson this early at Round 5, Pick 27. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick157
Rnd5
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 157 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick158
Rnd5
Gentry Williams
They reached into another round for Gentry Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 160th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172
Rnd6
CJ Dippre
This one needs a full-page explanation: CJ Dippre in slot 172, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick173
Rnd6
Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jordan James
They talked themselves into Jordan James at pick 189, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194
Rnd7
Dacari Collins
A conviction pick on Dacari Collins at the 194th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204
Rnd7
Colbie Young
Colbie Young in No. 204 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211
Rnd7
Arian Smith
Arian Smith at Round 7, Pick 19 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212
Rnd7
Noah Thomas
Noah Thomas at pick 212 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
A reach on Seth McLaughlin in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick218
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at No. 218 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick221
Rnd7
Latrell McCutchin Sr.
Value said wait; Latrell McCutchin Sr. in slot 221 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
