Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Steelers went off the board in a big way for Garrett Dellinger, 55 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Giddens falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kyle McCord
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle McCord. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A quiet steal in pick 123: Hollin Pierce for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Kiser well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
You do not let a running back like DJ Giddens reach pick No. 185 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
A real head-scratcher, Garrett Dellinger in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
