Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers let Marks fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Woody Marks slide 44 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They are betting Ritzie proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The DK Metcalf deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 24 they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Devin Neal
A tidy little value on Devin Neal in the 85th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Milroe at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The board fumbled Malachi Moore all the way to the 122nd pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in No. 140 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in slot 161 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick163 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
They paid a round early for Cobee Bryant in Round 5, Pick 24, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick225 Rnd7 Woody Marks
They barely believed it either: Woody Marks still on the board at pick 225. It fills a real need, too.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jahvaree Ritzie
Value said wait; Jahvaree Ritzie in pick No. 231 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at Round 7, Pick 29 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
