Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Albert Regis selection is the head-turner. The Steelers reached 28 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Getting Scott where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
No edge and no loss on Omar Cooper Jr. in the 53rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Golday
You do not let an edge rusher like Jake Golday reach slot 76 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Steal is underselling it; Keionte Scott at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the 99th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bud Clark
By-the-book stuff, Bud Clark at No. 121 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135 Rnd4 Albert Regis
Albert Regis at No. 135 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
