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

For all the boxes ticked, the Steelers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.

They banked enough surplus on McCoy to cover a lot of smaller sins. The Chambers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The back end got a real overhaul.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a potential shutdown corner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kalen King
Kalen King in the 55th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in slot 87 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at No. 123 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
Jamari Thrash in pick 126 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick201 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
They left a pile of value on the table to take Steele Chambers this early at pick No. 201. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bru McCoy at the 204th overall pick is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nathaniel Watson at the Round 7 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
