Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesC FutureB-
The Steelers let Henderson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. TreVeyon Henderson at the 83rd pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
They paid sticker price for Jaxson Dart in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 83 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They barely believed it either: Elic Ayomanor still on the board at Round 3, Pick 24. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in No. 123 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Baron. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick229 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Karene Reid at the 229th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
