Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Monangai: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kyle Monangai got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at pick 247. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 52nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Neal
They paid sticker price for Devin Neal in No. 83, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
They will replay Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 122 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Steal is underselling it; Dillon Gabriel at the 163rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick225 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Somehow Roc Taylor was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 7, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
They barely believed it either: Kyle Williams still on the board at pick No. 231. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kyle Monangai in pick 247, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
