Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Bond fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Isaiah Bond slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at pick No. 123. Highway robbery. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in No. 83 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
You do not let an offensive lineman like Anthony Belton reach slot 156 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They did well to land Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 185, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick 229 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
