Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Steelers this weekend: B+.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thomas Collins at the 253rd overall pick regardless, 60 picks early. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Landing Rivers that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

It is not that Tiernan is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at the 57th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick60 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at pick 60 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
They reached a country mile for D'Angelo Ponds at No. 76, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Taking Malik Muhammad in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 94, where Eli Stowers graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick98 Rnd3 Caleb Tiernan
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Caleb Tiernan at offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick121 Rnd4 Austin Siereveld
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to take Austin Siereveld, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick128 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Nothing to complain about; Bryce Lance went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard in Round 4, Pick 33 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd4 Logan Jones
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 139 on Logan Jones with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at the 145th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick151 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in No. 151 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick166 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They paid a round early for Bryce Boettcher in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick178 Rnd5 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at No. 178 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick192 Rnd6 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in slot 192 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
A wild overpay on Bear Alexander in pick 223, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at the 230th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
They paid up for Jerry Wilson at Round 7, Pick 20 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Thomas Collins
This one needs a full-page explanation: Thomas Collins in pick No. 253, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
