Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Stout. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Upton Stout sat on the board until the 231st overall pick, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Parr has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in pick No. 31 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at pick 57 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Value with a capital V on Tre Harris in Round 2, Pick 31, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at the 83rd pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110 Rnd4 Devin Neal
They robbed the room for Devin Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They will replay Cam Skattebo at slot 122 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Circle this one: Malachi Moore at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Hollin Pierce in No. 141, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Somehow Tyler Shough was still sitting there in No. 163, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 225 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in Round 7, Pick 13 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247 Rnd7 Logan Parr
A reach for Logan Parr in slot 247; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
