Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Hood fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Colton Hood, pick No. 224, roughly 198 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 7 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 21 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that.
Pick53 Rnd2 Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza in the 53rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jordyn Tyson
Steal is underselling it; Jordyn Tyson at slot 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano in the 85th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99 Rnd3 David Bailey
They robbed the room for David Bailey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Carnell Tate
They barely believed it either: Carnell Tate still on the board at No. 121. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy at pick 135 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick159 Rnd5 Michael Taaffe
The board fumbled Michael Taaffe all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
A linebacker of that caliber at the 213th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Akheem Mesidor
Akheem Mesidor in No. 214 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Colton Hood
Colton Hood at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Chase Bisontis
Somehow Chase Bisontis was still sitting there in slot 237, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
