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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Raylen Wilson slide 54 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordan Ross
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Brice Pollock
No drama and no debate, Brice Pollock went about where he belonged in pick 53. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers slid further than he should have, and the 76th overall pick is lovely value for the quarterback. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Teitum Tuioti
Teitum Tuioti in pick No. 85 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tavion Gadson
Tavion Gadson at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
Fair-plus on Brendan Sorsby, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
A reasonable price with a little left over, Xavier Scott in the 135th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, CJ Baxter at slot 159. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213 Rnd6 Darian Mensah
Circle this one: Darian Mensah at Round 6, Pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Mark Nabou Jr.
They will replay Mark Nabou Jr. at slot 214 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick224 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick 224 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Taking Raylen Wilson in pick No. 237 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
