Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Steelers spent slot 120 on Sataoa Laumea while edge rusher, running back and other spots sat unaddressed.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Hicks steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In the 32nd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick64 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in slot 64. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 84th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 35, where McKinnley Jackson graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
A quiet steal in pick No. 119: Jaden Hicks for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Sataoa Laumea at offensive lineman with edge rusher, running back and other spots open.
