Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 13 is 58 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. That Henderson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in the 36th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the running back. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They liked Jalen Milroe enough to skip the value, taking him in the 83rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Bond in pick 88. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
No edge and no loss on Jacob Parrish in slot 123; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A wild overpay on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 156, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 9 with a little surplus value in Jack Kiser. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
