Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Sellers is the Steelers' new face under center. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. LaNorris Sellers is the Steelers' quarterback, full stop. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with edge rusher and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. If one pick saves this weekend, it is McNeil-Warren.

If Pavia pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In pick No. 30 they get a franchise quarterback at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor in the 62nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
The board had cheaper options than Brian Parker II at slot 76, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick94 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Caleb Tiernan in Round 3, Pick 30 leaves edge rusher and tight end for later.
Pick99 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
No drama and no debate, Harold Perkins Jr. went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
A want over a need in pick 130: Parker Brailsford adds an offensive lineman while edge rusher and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick133 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at the 133rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They will replay Aaron Anderson at No. 171 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in pick No. 179 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at the 210th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at Round 6, Pick 36 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee at pick 247 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
