Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for Colbie Young. He came off 90 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That McNeil-Warren pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 21st pick they get a three-down second-level presence. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
The board had cheaper options than Zachariah Branch at pick No. 53, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Drew Allar
They reached into another round for Drew Allar, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 85 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
They barely believed it either: Dontay Corleone still on the board at the Round 3 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
This one needs a full-page explanation: Demond Claiborne in slot 121, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
They talked themselves into Nadame Tucker at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jude Bowry at No. 159. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick213 Rnd6 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen at slot 213 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. at Round 6, Pick 35 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia at the 224th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 Colbie Young
Value said wait; Colbie Young in the 237th overall pick says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
