Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
The Steelers stacked value on need and came away with a A-.

Nobody else had J.J. Weaver anywhere near pick No. 242. The Steelers did, by 90 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Taylor falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, with Benjamin Morrison leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Benjamin Morrison
Nice patience on Benjamin Morrison, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in No. 65 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick80 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Watts at Round 3, Pick 16 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalen Royals at the 83rd pick is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Tai Felton
No edge and no loss on Tai Felton in slot 89; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in pick 103 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 121 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Mason Taylor in the 163rd overall pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A tidy little value on Clay Webb in No. 219, a step better than break-even. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick223 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 7, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick242 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
