Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 52 picks early on Cade Klubnik, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Slaughter pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman and edge rusher went begging. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Caleb Lomu
In the 21st pick they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early. Need was not the driver here.
Pick53 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
They liked Antonio Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in the 53rd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cade Klubnik well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman and edge rusher still to address, they spent pick 85 on Jake Slaughter, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in slot 99 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries slid further than he should have, and No. 121 is lovely value for the tight end. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Billy Schrauth adds an offensive lineman and leaves interior defensive lineman and edge rusher untouched.
Pick159 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at Round 5, Pick 21 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
They took Jimmy Rolder at par in No. 213, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Josh Moten
A tidy little value on Josh Moten in pick No. 214, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They paid a round early for Cole Payton in the 224th pick, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
They paid up for Isaiah Jatta at slot 237 when waiting would have done the job. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
