Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 83rd overall pick: the Steelers steal Harris and grade out a C+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tre Harris had no business being available in the Round 3 slot, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Conerly Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

So much rides on Josh Conerly Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In No. 21 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 4, Pick 21 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sauls at pick No. 156 squarely in line with his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick185 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at the 185th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
You do not let a safety like Caleb Ransaw reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
