Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Genesis Smith slide 20 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Allar reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Omar Cooper Jr.
In slot 31 they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Nice patience on Emmanuel Pregnon, who had no business lasting to pick No. 53. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick76 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
They took Domonique Orange at par in Round 3, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 85th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ted Hurst
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ted Hurst in the Round 3 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Genesis Smith in No. 121, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A quiet steal in pick 125: Davison Igbinosun for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 De'Zhaun Stribling
Taking De'Zhaun Stribling in pick No. 131 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Drew Allar
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Drew Allar. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kage Casey
By-the-book stuff, Kage Casey at the 161st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at No. 191 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
A straight-up fair deal on Riley Nowakowski at slot 216, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in the 230th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They paid sticker price for Eli Heidenreich in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
