Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureB
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Jordan White, 44 picks ahead of schedule.
However the rest shakes out, Slaughter at that price is a win they earned. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In pick 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
They paid sticker price for Elijah Sarratt in No. 51, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 15 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick85
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
They let Michael Taaffe come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick86
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and A.J. Haulcy at the 86th overall pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99
Rnd3
D'Angelo Ponds
A premium they did not need to pay, D'Angelo Ponds a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick114
Rnd4
Malachi Fields
Circle this one: Malachi Fields at slot 114 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A clean, defensible pick in the 123rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Bryce Lance. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at the 137th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139
Rnd4
Logan Jones
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Logan Jones while clear needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots sat open.
Pick140
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
They liked Jacob Rodriguez enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 140. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
They reached into another round for Aaron Graves, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick162
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at pick 162 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175
Rnd5
Bud Clark
Bud Clark in Round 5, Pick 35 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
A reach on Lee Hunter in slot 189; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
A wild overpay on Trey Zuhn III in the 197th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dane Key
Fair-plus on Dane Key, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jerry Wilson
They reached a country mile for Jerry Wilson at pick No. 212, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223
Rnd7
Jordan White
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan White. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick234
Rnd7
De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at the 234th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
