Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
A-

NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: A-. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent Round 7, Pick 19 on Thomas Collins, a name the board had a full 71 spots lower.
That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Gennings Dunker
In pick No. 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. More want than need.
Pick37
Rnd2
Mansoor Delane
A quiet steal in No. 37: Mansoor Delane for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72
Rnd3
Elijah Sarratt
They read the board right and Elijah Sarratt was the payoff at the 72nd pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74
Rnd3
Colton Hood
Colton Hood at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe is a better player than the 79th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in slot 92 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
They went early on D'Angelo Ponds in slot 94, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cayden Green
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cayden Green at Round 3, Pick 33. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jonah Coleman
Circle this one: Jonah Coleman at the 100th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109
Rnd4
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan at pick 109 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick118
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik in the 120th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Eric Singleton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Eric Singleton Jr. reach pick No. 123 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick128
Rnd4
Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in No. 128 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at the 142nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick148
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
A real head-scratcher, DJ Campbell in pick No. 148 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jacob Rodriguez
They paid sticker price for Jacob Rodriguez in Round 5, Pick 17, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
By-the-book stuff, Aaron Graves at No. 163 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172
Rnd5
Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny in slot 172 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179
Rnd5
Chase Roberts
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 179th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186
Rnd6
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in pick 186 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199
Rnd6
Kyle Louis
They will replay Kyle Louis at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201
Rnd6
Carson Beck
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Carson Beck in slot 201, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206
Rnd6
Dane Key
The board had Dane Key higher than pick No. 206, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
They liked Trey Zuhn III enough to skip the value, taking him in the 214th overall pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick215
Rnd6
DeAndre Moore Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeAndre Moore Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick221
Rnd7
Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Drayk Bowen
Nice patience on Drayk Bowen, who had no business lasting to No. 222. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224
Rnd7
Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at the 224th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232
Rnd7
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at pick 232 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234
Rnd7
Thomas Collins
They reached a country mile for Thomas Collins at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
No edge and no loss on Brett Norfleet in pick 248; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251
Rnd7
Cayden Lee
They let Cayden Lee come to them and pounced at slot 251. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick256
Rnd7
Shamar Easter
They robbed the room for Shamar Easter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick257
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
They did well to land J. Michael Sturdivant in Round 7, Pick 42, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
