Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureB-
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Bisontis: B. You build a draft on nights like this. Chase Bisontis had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In pick 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick53
Rnd2
Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at No. 53 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76
Rnd3
Carnell Tate
You do not let a wide receiver like Carnell Tate reach the 76th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85
Rnd3
Spencer Fano
Taking Spencer Fano in pick No. 85 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick99
Rnd3
Garrett Nussmeier
They will replay Garrett Nussmeier at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
David Bailey
Somehow David Bailey was still sitting there in slot 121, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135
Rnd4
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at Round 4, Pick 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jonah Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Coleman at the 159th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick213
Rnd6
Chase Bisontis
They robbed the room for Chase Bisontis here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick214
Rnd6
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in slot 214 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224
Rnd7
Ja'Kobi Lane
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ja'Kobi Lane in the 224th pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237
Rnd7
Malik Benson
Circle this one: Malik Benson at Round 7, Pick 21 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
