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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Steelers would have aced it. Harold Perkins Jr. at Round 3, Pick 12 is 58 spots clear of where he belonged.

However the rest shakes out, Stowers at that price is a win they earned. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

With edge rusher and running back unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon slipping to the 53rd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Value said wait; Harold Perkins Jr. in Round 3, Pick 12 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes in No. 85 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Nice patience on Kamari Ramsey, who had no business lasting to pick 86. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
You do not let a tight end like Eli Stowers reach the 99th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
They will replay Ja'Kobi Lane at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with J.C. Davis while clear needs at edge rusher and running back sat open.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tim Keenan III in slot 161. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216 Rnd6 Taylen Green
They robbed the room for Taylen Green here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen at the 224th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jeremiah Wright
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Wright. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick237 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall in No. 237 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
