Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a A-.

The war room fell hard for DJ Campbell, and it showed at pick No. 132: 43 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.

The Allar value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Jones pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and edge rusher.

In the end it comes back to Trevor Goosby, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby in slot 52 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick64 Rnd2 Michael Taaffe
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Taaffe at No. 64, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jayden Maiava
Jayden Maiava in pick No. 75 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick80 Rnd3 Ian Strong
Good price on Ian Strong in pick 80, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Nice patience on A.J. Haulcy, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jack Endries
They paid a round early for Jack Endries in Round 3, Pick 31, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in slot 96 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
They took Bryce Lance at par in pick No. 99, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Fair-plus on Kevin Coleman Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman and edge rusher to take Logan Jones, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick132 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
A curious use of No. 132. Interior defensive lineman and edge rusher needed the pick; an offensive lineman in DJ Campbell did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at Round 5, Pick 10 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
The board had Jacob Rodriguez higher than the Round 5 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
A quiet steal in the 179th pick: Terion Stewart for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey in Round 6, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jerry Wilson. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brett Norfleet. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Marquis Johnson
They liked Marquis Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 253rd overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
