Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA- FutureA+
Grand theft in the 122nd pick: the Steelers steal Tiernan and grade out a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Caleb Tiernan, the No. 92 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 22.

Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with edge rusher open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. If Goosby pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
They reached into another round for Trevor Goosby, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick63 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Olaivavega Ioane adds an offensive lineman and leaves edge rusher untouched.
Pick71 Rnd3 Arch Manning
Arch Manning at pick No. 71 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Michael Taaffe graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in No. 86 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at the 99th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 104th pick on Brian Parker II with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Nothing to complain about; Jack Endries went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They paid up for Bryce Lance at pick No. 109 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher to take Logan Jones, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick122 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
A want over a need in the Round 4 slot: Caleb Tiernan adds an offensive lineman while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in No. 131 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
Jyaire Hill at Round 4, Pick 33 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in slot 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jacob Rodriguez well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
They let Austin Romaine come to them and pounced at the 140th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
CJ Baxter in Round 5, Pick 4 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
They paid sticker price for Aaron Graves in slot 159, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bryce Boettcher. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick176 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
Nice patience on Duce Robinson, who had no business lasting to the 176th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Somehow Drew Allar was still sitting there in the 181st overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick201 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
A slide stopped in pick No. 201, with Le'Veon Moss worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick212 Rnd6 Quinten Joyner
A straight-up fair deal on Quinten Joyner at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
No edge and no loss on Trey Zuhn III in pick 226; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at No. 234 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
