Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
McNeil-Warren should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, the 85th pick, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged.

The Allar reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while edge rusher, running back and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Max Iheanachor while clear needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick76 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard at No. 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They robbed the room for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
They did well to land Treydan Stukes in pick 99, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton in Round 4, Pick 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Drew Allar
They talked themselves into Drew Allar at the 135th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A reach on Bryce Boettcher in slot 161; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 TJ Hall
By-the-book stuff, TJ Hall at the 216th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Eric McAlister
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Eric McAlister in pick 230, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
