Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Carson Steele a full 73 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The Steelers indulged a want in Van Pran while a need in quarterback and edge rusher stayed open. That McGlothern pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a cornerstone up front at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 51st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick66 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A surprising call. With quarterback and edge rusher still to address, they spent slot 66 on Sedrick Van Pran, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick72 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They paid sticker price for Calen Bullock in No. 72, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Khyree Jackson at pick 84, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick118 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at pick No. 118 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 AJ Barner
No edge and no loss on AJ Barner in Round 5, Pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 161 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 194 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240 Rnd7 Carson Steele
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Carson Steele. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
