Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB+
Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Steelers a C, Strong and all.

When a board-topper like Ian Strong slides to Round 4, Pick 18, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Campbell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. It is not that Tiernan is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In pick 24 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that.
Pick61 Rnd2 Denzel Boston
They robbed the room for Denzel Boston here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
The board fumbled Sonny Styles all the way to No. 76, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
Brian Parker II at pick No. 87 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at slot 99 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick104 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They jumped the gun on D'Angelo Ponds, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick105 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and edge rusher to take Caleb Tiernan, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick118 Rnd4 Ian Strong
Ian Strong at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 119 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
No edge and no loss on Bryce Lance in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Circle this one: Jalon Kilgore at pick No. 136 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jyaire Hill. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at Round 4, Pick 40 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
Value said wait; DJ Campbell in the 145th overall pick says they were not listening. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick148 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aaron Graves in slot 148, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sammy Omosigho in the 160th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
They talked themselves into Rayshaun Benny at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Bud Clark
A wild overpay on Bud Clark in pick 164, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
They reached a country mile for Lee Hunter at slot 174, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick175 Rnd5 Justin Joly
Somehow Justin Joly was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Dane Key
Dane Key at the 205th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They went early on Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 218, and the value did not follow. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson in the 244th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
