Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers robbed the room for Louis. Final grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Steelers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

The Louis steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Spears-Jennings reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
A tidy bit of business in slot 21, where Arvell Reese graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zakee Wheatley at No. 92. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at Round 3, Pick 35 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Brenen Thompson
The board had Brenen Thompson higher than pick No. 108, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Steal is underselling it; Kyle Louis at the 112th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Good price on Julian Neal in pick 121, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152 Rnd5 Kage Casey
No drama and no debate, Kage Casey went about where he belonged in pick No. 152. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nate Boerkircher. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A tidy little value on Aamil Wagner in the 177th pick, a step better than break-even. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings in slot 237 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
