Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let King fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kalen King at the 84th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Shane Buechele gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
A clean, defensible pick in the 20th overall pick with a little surplus value in Taliese Fuaga. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick52 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
They will replay Nate Wiggins at slot 52 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kalen King
Taking Kalen King in the 84th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Steal is underselling it; Jamari Thrash at No. 120 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 128 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick162 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube in pick No. 162 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in Round 6, Pick 23 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
