Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

Priorities are a choice, and the Steelers made a strange one, taking Ar'maj Reed-Adams at offensive lineman in the Round 4 slot with quarterback and linebacker crying out for the pick instead.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. World has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Getting Wheatley where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In slot 21 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They paid sticker price for Lee Hunter in Round 2, Pick 21, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday slid further than he should have, and the 76th pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal is a better player than pick No. 85 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zakee Wheatley in the 99th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Isaiah World
Isaiah World at pick 121 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Ar'maj Reed-Adams in slot 135 leaves quarterback and linebacker for later.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jalen Farmer
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen Farmer at No. 159, value and slot in agreement. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick213 Rnd6 Dane Key
No edge and no loss on Dane Key in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
Kaelon Black in pick 214 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Fair-plus on Miles Kitselman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 21, with Zavion Thomas worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
