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

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Jordan White in pick 226, a good 47 spots before the room expected him. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.

That Allar pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
They let Mansoor Delane come to them and pounced at No. 31. It fills a real need, too.
Pick55 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at the 55th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick78 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
A tidy bit of business in slot 99, where Malachi Fields graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
They paid up for D'Angelo Ponds at pick No. 101 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Nice patience on Jack Endries, who had no business lasting to the 120th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
They took Bray Hubbard at par in pick No. 133, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
A straight-up fair deal on Jadarian Price at slot 139, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd4 Logan Jones
No edge and no loss on Logan Jones in the 140th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jacob Rodriguez this early at Round 5, Pick 4. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 148th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick159 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A conviction pick on Aaron Graves at No. 159 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A reach for Bryce Boettcher in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A real head-scratcher, Rayshaun Benny in pick 177 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Bud Clark
A big swing on Bud Clark at pick 181, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A wild overpay on Trey Zuhn III in No. 214, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick218 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. at the 218th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jordan White
They reached a country mile for Jordan White at slot 226, and the board is aghast. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at pick No. 229 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
A slide stopped in the 249th pick, with Malik Hartford worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in Round 7, Pick 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
