Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Allar: C+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Drew Allar, pick No. 199, roughly 43 picks past where he belonged. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

If Campbell pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Green pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Somehow Jake Slaughter was still sitting there in pick 55, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
They robbed the room for Elijah Sarratt here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cayden Green adds an offensive lineman and leaves edge rusher untouched.
Pick99 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
A reach for D'Angelo Ponds in the 99th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Nice patience on Jack Endries, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
No drama and no debate, Bryce Lance went about where he belonged in pick No. 121. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 122nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard at the 129th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
A straight-up fair deal on Jadarian Price at No. 133, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jyaire Hill. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
They took Eric Rivers at par in pick 139, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at Round 5, Pick 5 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They went early on Jacob Rodriguez in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They reached into another round for Bryce Boettcher, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick174 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves at the 174th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny at pick 178 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick198 Rnd6 Bud Clark
Bud Clark in No. 198 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199 Rnd6 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at Round 6, Pick 21 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
