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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Tony Rojas at the 224th overall pick is 147 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
Denzel Boston at Round 1, Pick 21 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick53 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at pick No. 53 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A premium they did not need to pay, Jacob Rodriguez a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Drew Allar
They reached a country mile for Drew Allar at the 76th pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Markel Bell
A straight-up fair deal on Markel Bell at No. 99, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Zane Durant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zane Durant in the Round 4 slot, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore in slot 159 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
A swing that ignored the value entirely, De'Zhaun Stribling well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas in pick 224 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Adam Randall
A real head-scratcher, Adam Randall in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
