Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Steelers let Neal fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-.

When a board-topper like Julian Neal slides to slot 133, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

The Cooper Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

So much rides on Jermod McCoy that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In pick 14 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 CJ Allen
No drama and no debate, CJ Allen went about where he belonged in No. 45. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe slid further than he should have, and pick No. 78 is lovely value for the safety. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A premium they did not need to pay, Omar Cooper Jr. a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at slot 99 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in the 133rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154 Rnd5 Carson Beck
The board fumbled Carson Beck all the way to Round 5, Pick 14, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick214 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green in pick 214 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Evan Stewart
A slide stopped in the 217th overall pick, with Evan Stewart worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick229 Rnd7 Bud Clark
Circle this one: Bud Clark at the 229th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
