Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers bet the future on Sellers. The board says B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. LaNorris Sellers is the Steelers' quarterback, full stop. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Mateer value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them. The Sellers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In the 21st overall pick they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
They paid sticker price for Elijah Sarratt in Round 2, Pick 20, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Cayden Green in the 76th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick83 Rnd3 John Mateer
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 83 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Joe Royer
Nice patience on Joe Royer, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Nothing to complain about; Xavier Scott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick133 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent pick 133 on Charles Jagusah, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
No drama and no debate, Jacob Rodriguez went about where he belonged in pick No. 160. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick212 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at the 212th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes in No. 213 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
They took Trebor Pena at par in pick No. 218, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick235 Rnd7 James Smith
The board had cheaper options than James Smith at the 235th pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
