Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Steelers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

The Stephens reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Tate value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They did well to land Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in pick 57, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Rodriguez at slot 76, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bud Clark
No drama and no debate, Bud Clark went about where he belonged in the 121st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in pick No. 135 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
