Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA-
Klubnik should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Cade Klubnik, the No. 93 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 130.

Reaching for Hunter left real value on the table behind him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Steelers indulged a want in Green while a need in edge rusher and running back stayed open.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Colton Hood
No edge and no loss on Colton Hood in Round 1, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A quiet steal in pick No. 55: Jake Slaughter for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick79 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Cayden Green in the 84th pick leaves edge rusher and running back for later.
Pick91 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields slid further than he should have, and No. 91 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at pick 99 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick119 Rnd4 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 119 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A straight-up fair deal on Bryce Lance at the 124th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
A premium they did not need to pay, Bray Hubbard a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at the 130th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Logan Jones at offensive lineman with edge rusher and running back open.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
A reach on Jacob Rodriguez in No. 150; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 155 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick162 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in pick 162 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 24, where Terrance Carter Jr. graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Drew Allar at the Round 5 slot is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick174 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
They reached a country mile for Lee Hunter at the 174th pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at pick No. 179 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Bud Clark
They jumped the gun on Bud Clark, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A real head-scratcher, Trey Zuhn III in the 213th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick214 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
They paid up for DeAndre Moore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 34 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
They went early on Jerry Wilson in pick 235, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
