Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers found their guy under center in Sellers: B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Steelers committed. LaNorris Sellers is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

The Holly reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Freeling pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

That Nelson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In pick No. 14 they get the arm they will build around at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller is a better player than No. 46 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Nice patience on Elijah Sarratt, who had no business lasting to pick 73. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
They went early on Caleb Tiernan in Round 3, Pick 14, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick98 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at slot 98 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher to take Monroe Freeling, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick133 Rnd4 Terrance Carter
By-the-book stuff, Terrance Carter at the 133rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Antonio Kite
No edge and no loss on Antonio Kite in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell at pick No. 176 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Malachi Nelson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Nelson at Round 6, Pick 16. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dominic Zvada
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dominic Zvada this early at pick 211. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Trey Holly
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Holly well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
