Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Sanders: B.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Raheim Sanders, the No. 143 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Wedig has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a matchup problem out wide, and a steal at that.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 52 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Somehow Dylan Sampson was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They let Luke Kandra come to them and pounced at slot 121. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick161 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at the 161st overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick223 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
Trey Wedig in the 223rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick229 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley at No. 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 245 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
