Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers answered their biggest question with Nix. Grade: B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Steelers committed. Bo Nix is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting McCoy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In No. 23 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 55 with a little surplus value in Denzel Burke. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at the 87th pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 22 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They did well to land Beau Brade in the 123rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick201 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Bru McCoy for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
They took Aaron Frost at par in pick 244, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
