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

Priorities are a choice, and the Steelers made a strange one, taking Austin Barber at offensive lineman in the Round 3 slot with edge rusher crying out for the pick instead. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Allar lower, and that gap is the story. Scott falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 21 they get a blindside protector. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Nice patience on Chris Bell, who had no business lasting to the 53rd pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keionte Scott at pick 76. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Max Klare
A tidy bit of business in No. 85, where Max Klare graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Austin Barber
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Austin Barber while clear needs at edge rusher sat open.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
No edge and no loss on Bryce Lance in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They jumped the gun on Drew Allar, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in Round 5, Pick 21 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Aiden Fisher
They paid sticker price for Aiden Fisher in slot 216, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas in the 224th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at Round 7, Pick 14 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
No drama and no debate, Desmond Reid went about where he belonged in the 237th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
