Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Leonard: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Riley Leonard had no business being available in the 156th overall pick, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 83rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton is a better player than slot 123 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Riley Leonard
A quarterback of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 CJ West
They paid sticker price for CJ West in pick 185, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick229 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Steal is underselling it; Caleb Ransaw at the 229th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
