Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 161: the Steelers steal Winston Jr. and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kevin Winston Jr. tumbling to the Steelers in pick No. 161 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Reaching for White left real value on the table behind him.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 21st overall pick they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 20, where Matthew Golden graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at pick No. 83. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at No. 161 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick 223 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229 Rnd7 Aydan White
Aydan White at the 229th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Cooper Mays
Value said wait; Cooper Mays in slot 245 says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
