Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

FutureB
The Steelers won the night they stopped Fields from sliding. Grade: B. The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Malachi Fields fell into pick 98. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The Alec Anderson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at pick 26 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick53
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Dillon Thieneman in Round 2, Pick 21, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
Steal is underselling it; Jake Slaughter at the 76th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
They barely believed it either: Michael Taaffe still on the board at pick No. 91. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
They robbed the room for Malachi Fields here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
Somehow Jacob Rodriguez was still sitting there in slot 99, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jack Endries
Value with a capital V on Jack Endries in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
A tidy little value on Bryce Lance in No. 126, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Nice patience on Davison Igbinosun, who had no business lasting to pick 135. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kage Casey
They read the board right and Kage Casey was the payoff at pick No. 161. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick168
Rnd5
Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in the 168th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224
Rnd7
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the 224th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230
Rnd7
Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237
Rnd7
DJ Harvey
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ Harvey at slot 237 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257
Rnd7
Andre Fuller
They will replay Andre Fuller at Round 7, Pick 41 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
