Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB
Larceny in pick 76 lands the Steelers a B, Pregnon and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Emmanuel Pregnon, the No. 38 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 76. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Stephens pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, linebacker and other spots. Every board in the league had Hall lower, and that gap is the story.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Somehow Dillon Thieneman was still sitting there in slot 53, and they pounced on premier safety value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Emmanuel Pregnon
The board fumbled Emmanuel Pregnon all the way to pick No. 76, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99 Rnd3 Julian Neal
They will replay Julian Neal at the 99th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A reasonable price with a little left over, Bryce Lance in No. 121. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 35: Beau Stephens adds an offensive lineman while edge rusher, linebacker and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick159 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 159th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the Round 5 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at pick No. 213 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick214 Rnd6 Peyton Bowen
They took Peyton Bowen at par in the 214th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 224th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They talked themselves into Jordan Hall at slot 237, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
