Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Kendrick Law, 62 picks ahead of schedule. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Green pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
They read the board right and Emmanuel Pregnon was the payoff at pick No. 53. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick 76 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at slot 85 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Daylen Everette at the 99th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mason Reiger
Mason Reiger in No. 121 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kendrick Law
They reached into another round for Kendrick Law, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 VJ Payne
VJ Payne in the 161st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at slot 216 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fa'alili Fa'amoe well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick230 Rnd7 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in No. 230 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich in the 237th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
