Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB
Grand theft in the 224th overall pick: the Steelers steal Green and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Taylen Green, Round 7, Pick 8, roughly 36 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In slot 26 they get a building block for the line. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
The board had D'Angelo Ponds higher than No. 59, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
The board fumbled Caleb Banks all the way to Round 3, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent pick 85 on Caleb Tiernan, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick99 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 99th pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
They barely believed it either: Elijah Sarratt still on the board at pick No. 107. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Carson Beck
Carson Beck at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick129 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A tidy bit of business in the 129th overall pick, where Davison Igbinosun graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
They paid sticker price for Jakobe Thomas in Round 4, Pick 35, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Boettcher. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
No drama and no debate, Jadon Canady went about where he belonged in the 216th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in the 224th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at No. 230 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Aiden Fisher
Aiden Fisher at slot 237 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick243 Rnd7 Terion Stewart
Nothing to complain about; Terion Stewart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
