Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Stukes from sliding. Grade: B-.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Treydan Stukes, the No. 72 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 121 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In the 21st pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Max Iheanachor while clear needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at pick No. 76 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
The board had Domonique Orange higher than slot 85, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at No. 99 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
They will replay Treydan Stukes at Round 4, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas in the 135th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
