Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureA-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B+.

The tape said wait; the Steelers did not. Deven Eastern went at the 230th overall pick, a good 49 picks before the board was ready. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The Davis pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, running back and other spots. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in pick 40 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at slot 53, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard in pick No. 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Somehow Zachariah Branch was still sitting there in the 85th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A linebacker of that caliber at the 99th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Value with a capital V on Treydan Stukes in No. 109, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Julian Neal
A clean, defensible pick in the 121st pick with a little surplus value in Julian Neal. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
They took Harold Perkins Jr. at par in Round 4, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, J.C. Davis adds an offensive lineman and leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 161st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Deven Eastern
Deven Eastern at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
