Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC FutureA+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Steelers: B.

The Jordan White pick is the one that will follow the Steelers into the fall. They took him 33 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Slaughter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback and edge rusher went begging.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick59 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
A clean, defensible pick in No. 59 with a little surplus value in Elijah Sarratt. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick61 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at Round 3, Pick 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Colton Hood
Colton Hood at slot 85 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick90 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers slid further than he should have, and the 90th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They liked D'Angelo Ponds enough to skip the value, taking him in the 93rd pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A quiet steal in the 99th pick: Malachi Fields for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Logan Jones at offensive lineman with quarterback and edge rusher open.
Pick133 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
No edge and no loss on Bray Hubbard in No. 133; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at the 139th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
By-the-book stuff, Eric Rivers at slot 140 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They reached a country mile for DJ Campbell at pick 146, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Nothing to complain about; Kage Casey went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
The board had cheaper options than Bryce Boettcher at pick No. 162, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick179 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They jumped the gun on Rayshaun Benny, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key in the 200th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DJ Harvey. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick212 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A conviction pick on Trey Zuhn III at No. 212 that the board grades a round light. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
They went early on Jerry Wilson in Round 7, Pick 13, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan White
A big swing on Jordan White at slot 234, well ahead of any board in the building. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
