Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureA+
The Steelers robbed the room for Lew. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Connor Lew at the Round 4 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Prysock pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the 42nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Steal is underselling it; Germie Bernard at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in slot 121 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick152 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Value said wait; Aamil Wagner in pick 152 says they were not listening. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ephesians Prysock. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
No drama and no debate, Nate Boerkircher went about where he belonged in pick No. 162. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
Sawyer Robertson is a better player than No. 216 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 14, with Zavion Thomas worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
A wild overpay on Robert Spears-Jennings in pick 237, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
