Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesC- FutureA
Larceny in pick 85 lands the Steelers a B, McNeil-Warren and all.

Call it larceny. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren sat on the board until pick No. 85, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Spears-Jennings lower, and that gap is the story. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 31 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot.
Pick42 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon at the 42nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They will replay Germie Bernard at pick 76 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in Round 3, Pick 21, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at the 121st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick173 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in pick No. 173 is fair value, right on his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick174 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
A conviction pick on Ephesians Prysock at No. 174 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jeremiah Wright
No edge and no loss on Jeremiah Wright in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Zavion Thomas at pick 224, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Good price on Miles Kitselman in No. 230, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Robert Spears-Jennings. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
