Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Sanders fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let T.J. Sanders slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 223rd pick. Highway robbery.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
By-the-book stuff, Emeka Egbuka at the Round 1 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in the 52nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Steal is underselling it; Ashton Jeanty at slot 83 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Wyatt Milum
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in No. 121, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at pick 161 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
Taking T.J. Sanders in the 223rd pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at Round 7, Pick 13 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Circle this one: Alfred Collins at pick No. 245 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
