Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Trey Zuhn III, 30 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Crownover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board. On value alone, McNeil-Warren makes the weekend a net positive. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 8 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In pick 21 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
Pick53 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
The board had cheaper options than Antonio Williams at pick No. 53, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Steal is underselling it; Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at slot 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis in Round 3, Pick 21 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They took Darrell Jackson Jr. at par in No. 99, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dametrious Crownover at offensive lineman with edge rusher open.
Pick135 Rnd4 Joe Royer
A quiet steal in No. 135: Joe Royer for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A reasonable price with a little left over, Drew Allar in the 161st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They reached into another round for Trey Zuhn III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tyren Montgomery
Value with a capital V on Tyren Montgomery in pick No. 224, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Andre Fuller. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Robert Henry Jr.
They paid sticker price for Robert Henry Jr. in Round 7, Pick 21, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
