Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Everette fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Daylen Everette, pick 85, roughly 19 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Reid pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In pick 21 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
A slide stopped in slot 53, with Kamari Ramsey worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson slid further than he should have, and the 76th overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Steal is underselling it; Daylen Everette at Round 3, Pick 21 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
They did well to land Cade Klubnik in pick No. 99, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in the 121st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at No. 135 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick159 Rnd5 Nic Anderson
Nothing to complain about; Nic Anderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Eric McAlister at pick No. 214 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
No edge and no loss on Rasheem Biles in Round 6, Pick 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in the 224th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
They paid a round early for Desmond Reid in No. 237, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
