Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA+
The Steelers let Kiser fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jack Kiser tumbling to the Steelers in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
No edge and no loss on Zy Alexander in pick 52; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A conviction pick on Savion Williams at slot 83 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They robbed the room for Dylan Sampson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Nice patience on Jordan Phillips, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 21. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at pick No. 140 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 163 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the 210th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Torricelli Simpkins III well ahead of where he belonged. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
The board fumbled Jack Kiser all the way to slot 247, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
