Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tanor Bortolini, 68 picks early at the 119th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Bortolini pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at safety, edge rusher and other spots. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 32 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Circle this one: Cooper DeJean at pick No. 51 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
They will replay Troy Franklin at Round 2, Pick 32 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in the 89th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in No. 98 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tanor Bortolini
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Safety, edge rusher and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Tanor Bortolini did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Travis in No. 125, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick178 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the 178th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick195 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Steal is underselling it; Luke McCaffrey at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Nothing to complain about; Garret Greenfield went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
