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

The Steelers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 199 on Tanor Bortolini a full 30 spots early. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Landing Guyton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Kalen King
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kalen King at pick 53. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick63 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
They will replay Tyler Guyton at No. 63 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick85 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in the 85th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Travis in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the 121st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick 199 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick209 Rnd6 Trey Knox
They read the board right and Trey Knox was the payoff at pick No. 209. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jalen Berger
Jalen Berger in Round 7, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
