Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB- TradesA FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Hood: A-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Colton Hood, the No. 69 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 4, Pick 38.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Every board in the league had Taylor lower, and that gap is the story. It is not that Tiernan is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Mansoor Delane
Value with a capital V on Mansoor Delane in pick No. 35, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Trevor Goosby
Trevor Goosby at Round 2, Pick 25 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe in pick 82 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick96 Rnd3 D'Angelo Ponds
The board had cheaper options than D'Angelo Ponds at the 96th overall pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 99 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick104 Rnd4 Caleb Tiernan
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 104 on Caleb Tiernan with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher unsolved.
Pick119 Rnd4 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to the 119th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Logan Jones at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman and edge rusher open.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
A reach on Bray Hubbard in pick 122; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Nyck Harbor
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Nyck Harbor in the 125th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers in No. 126 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd4 Colton Hood
Colton Hood in slot 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd4 Darius Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Taylor this early at the 140th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in pick No. 146 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick165 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A conviction pick on Bryce Boettcher at Round 5, Pick 25 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 166 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick174 Rnd5 Bud Clark
They reached a country mile for Bud Clark at the 174th pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd5 Jaishawn Barham
You do not let a linebacker like Jaishawn Barham reach pick 181 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nico Iamaleava
A quarterback of that caliber at the 186th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick214 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Makhi Hughes at No. 214. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd7 Dane Key
Steal is underselling it; Dane Key at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
