Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Steelers let Aguilar fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Joey Aguilar, the No. 214 name on the board, stolen at Round 7, Pick 21.

The Steelers indulged a want in Smith while a need in edge rusher, running back and other spots stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane is a better player than the Round 1 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They will replay Olaivavega Ioane at pick 57 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ja'Kobi Lane at Round 3, Pick 12 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
The board had Lee Hunter higher than the 85th pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Carter Smith
A curious use of No. 99. Edge rusher, running back and other spots needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Carter Smith did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jalen Stroman
By-the-book stuff, Jalen Stroman at slot 139 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They took Bryce Boettcher at par in the 152nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in pick No. 159 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
A straight-up fair deal on Eric McAlister at pick No. 171, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 195th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick213 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in the 213th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith at No. 224 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Circle this one: Joey Aguilar at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
