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

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Cade Klubnik at pick No. 85 regardless, 50 picks early.

Stowers falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in pick No. 53 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 76th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
They reached a country mile for Cade Klubnik at the 85th pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at pick 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at slot 121 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
They went early on Kaytron Allen in Round 4, Pick 35, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Louis Moore
No edge and no loss on Louis Moore in slot 161; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
A clean, defensible pick in the 216th overall pick with a little surplus value in Jeremiah Wright. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick224 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
They liked Luke Altmyer enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 224. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Jatta at pick 230 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick237 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in the 237th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
