Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Steelers walked right past. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

On value alone, Etienne makes the weekend a net positive. The Zabel reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In No. 21 they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick83 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaiah Bond at the Round 3 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cody Simon
No drama and no debate, Cody Simon went about where he belonged in pick 123. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
They let Trevor Etienne come to them and pounced at Round 5, Pick 18. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
A quiet steal in pick No. 185: Ajani Cornelius for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick229 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold at the 229th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
