Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB+
The Steelers robbed the room for Edwards. Final grade: B+.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Donovan Edwards tumbling to the Steelers in Round 7, Pick 13 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Brown lower, and that gap is the story. The Anfernee Jennings deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 38th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
A premium they did not need to pay, Darius Alexander a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick106 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Farmer at pick No. 106 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown in Round 4, Pick 27 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid a round early for Bhayshul Tuten in the 144th pick, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Nice patience on Tyler Shough, who had no business lasting to pick 156. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A tidy little value on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 185, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
They robbed the room for Donovan Edwards here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
