Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Larceny in No. 212 lands the Steelers a B, Howard and all.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Will Howard, the No. 108 name on the board, sitting there at the 212th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Every board in the league had Dellinger lower, and that gap is the story. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the 52nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick No. 63 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
The board had Omarr Norman-Lott higher than Round 3, Pick 19, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darien Porter
Taking Darien Porter in pick 122 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 137th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at slot 182 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick212 Rnd6 Will Howard
They robbed the room for Will Howard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in No. 224, miles early. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jacob Parrish
By-the-book stuff, Jacob Parrish at the 225th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
The board had cheaper options than Jake Briningstool at Round 7, Pick 13, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247 Rnd7 Karene Reid
The board fumbled Karene Reid all the way to pick No. 247, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
