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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with JT Daniels at No. 243, a reach of 137 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Ransom pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zy Alexander. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 83rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra is a better player than Round 4, Pick 20 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
The board fumbled Lathan Ransom all the way to slot 161, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick223 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
The board had Terrance Ferguson higher than pick No. 223, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Xzavier Henderson
They took Xzavier Henderson at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243 Rnd7 JT Daniels
JT Daniels in the 243rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
