Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Steelers' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Getting Allen where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. On the needs board they went 3 of 9, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams is a better player than pick 83 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick156 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
They let LeQuint Allen come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 18. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Nice patience on Jonah Monheim, who had no business lasting to the 185th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
