Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Steelers won the night they stopped McNeil-Warren from sliding. Grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, the No. 51 name on the board, stolen at slot 85. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Spears-Jennings pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Gennings Dunker slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They robbed the room for Germie Bernard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick No. 85 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Somehow Domonique Orange was still sitting there in the 99th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Julian Neal at pick 121 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
A premium they did not need to pay, Aamil Wagner a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock in the 183rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott in No. 216 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Nothing to complain about; Zavion Thomas went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
A quiet steal in slot 230: Miles Kitselman for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They jumped the gun on Robert Spears-Jennings, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
