Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC- FutureC+
The Steelers land in the muddy middle: C+.

The Steelers bet big and early on Jimmy Horn Jr., 105 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

Ransom at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 21st pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in Round 2, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Devin Neal
By-the-book stuff, Devin Neal at slot 83 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Quincy Riley
A big swing on Quincy Riley at pick No. 122, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at No. 131 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick163 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
The board had Trey Zuhn III higher than the 231st overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A wild overpay on Jimmy Horn Jr. in the 247th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
