Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Tyler Onyedim, 66 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

On value alone, McAlister makes the weekend a net positive. It is not that Schrauth is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 21st pick they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Blake Miller
Blake Miller at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They read the board right and Keionte Scott was the payoff at slot 76. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at pick No. 85 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nicholas Singleton. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They did well to land Jalon Kilgore in No. 121, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Billy Schrauth while clear needs at interior defensive lineman and tight end sat open.
Pick159 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Drew Allar worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
You do not let a wide receiver like Eric McAlister reach No. 213 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tyler Onyedim
Tyler Onyedim at Round 6, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
A tidy little value on Jimmy Rolder in the 224th pick, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 237, where Kaden Wetjen graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
