Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Drew Allar at Round 3, Pick 31 is 52 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

It is not that World is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick85 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Harold Perkins Jr. in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Drew Allar
A wild overpay on Drew Allar in the 95th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Keionte Scott in slot 99, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at the 121st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Zane Durant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zane Durant in pick No. 125, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A clean, defensible pick in No. 131 with a little surplus value in Davison Igbinosun. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 132nd overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick135 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
No edge and no loss on CJ Daniels in the 135th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Isaiah World
A surprising call. With edge rusher, running back and other spots still to address, they spent No. 136 on Isaiah World, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick216 Rnd6 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts is a better player than Round 6, Pick 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
