Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Robbie Ouzts, 41 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Ransaw at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
On the needs board they went 9 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalon Walker in the 31st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick32
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In pick 32 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 2, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick62
Rnd2
Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo at No. 62 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick79
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A reach on Charles Grant in slot 79; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick83
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 83 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in Round 3, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick90
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kevin Winston Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Will Howard
No edge and no loss on Will Howard in pick No. 97; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
They took Jacob Parrish at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
No drama and no debate, Cobee Bryant went about where he belonged in slot 123. The roster fit checks out.
Pick125
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
The board had cheaper options than Hollin Pierce at the 125th overall pick, and it noticed. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick127
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A reach for Malachi Moore in pick 127; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
They liked Tyler Shough enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 32. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jackson Slater
A conviction pick on Jackson Slater at slot 135 that the board grades a round light. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick156
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at pick 156 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick161
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at No. 161 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
A tidy little value on Jack Kiser in pick No. 185, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick195
Rnd6
CJ West
Value with a capital V on CJ West in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Addison West
They jumped the gun on Addison West, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick211
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac TeSlaa. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Caleb Ransaw in the 226th overall pick, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Jackson at the 232nd pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick239
Rnd7
LaJohntay Wester
They paid up for LaJohntay Wester at pick No. 239 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Robbie Ouzts
Robbie Ouzts in Round 7, Pick 41 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
