Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B.

The war room fell hard for Behren Morton, and it showed at the 230th overall pick: 86 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Scott pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In pick 21 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Lee Hunter for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They robbed the room for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They barely believed it either: Jake Golday still on the board at No. 85. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Somehow Keionte Scott was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in the 121st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
They left a pile of value on the table to take Beau Stephens this early at pick No. 135. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A big swing on Keagen Trost at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at No. 224 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230 Rnd7 Behren Morton
Behren Morton at pick 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
Nick Barrett at the 237th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
