Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Porter from sliding. Grade: A-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Darien Porter at No. 247 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 25th pick they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in the 52nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at Round 3, Pick 19 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick89 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at pick No. 89 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach pick 122 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127 Rnd4 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at No. 127 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at slot 163. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
Taking Dylan Fairchild in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick225 Rnd7 Savion Williams
They will replay Savion Williams at Round 7, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick 231 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Darien Porter
Somehow Darien Porter was still sitting there in the 247th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A need, and now a little less of one.
