Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for Montgomery. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tyren Montgomery slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the Round 6 slot. Highway robbery.

If Clark pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
No edge and no loss on Kayden McDonald in slot 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chris Bell
They read the board right and Chris Bell was the payoff at the 53rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Josiah Trotter in pick No. 76, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Fair-plus on Julian Neal, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Bud Clark
A big swing on Bud Clark at the 99th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at pick 121 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
A reach for Kyle Louis in Round 4, Pick 35; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Drew Allar worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
A clean, defensible pick in No. 213 with a little surplus value in Jadon Canady. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery at the 214th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in pick No. 224 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Value said wait; Bryce Foster in pick 237 says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
