Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Steelers chose the head-scratcher, spending pick No. 135 on Billy Schrauth with running back still wide open. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Lane pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 21 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A quiet steal in the 53rd pick: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 76, where Jake Golday graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ja'Kobi Lane at slot 85. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
No edge and no loss on Daylen Everette in No. 99; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They did well to land Bryce Lance in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Billy Schrauth at offensive lineman with running back open.
Pick159 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They read the board right and Drew Allar was the payoff at pick 159. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
They took Zxavian Harris at par in Round 6, Pick 34, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 TJ Hall
They paid sticker price for TJ Hall in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aiden Fisher. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak slipping to the 237th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
