Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 40 picks early on Drew Allar, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. That Kilgore pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In No. 16 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 47th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A tidy little value on A.J. Haulcy in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A reach for Domonique Orange in Round 3, Pick 14; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick99 Rnd3 Chris Johnson
Chris Johnson at the 99th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick117 Rnd4 Drew Allar
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Allar in slot 117, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore is a better player than No. 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
