Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Steelers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Steelers bet big and early on DJ Campbell, 45 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

On value alone, Coleman makes the weekend a net positive. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on offensive lineman is the choice that costs them.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier in slot 54 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in the 56th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick69 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Taaffe at No. 69, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick79 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Nothing to complain about; A.J. Haulcy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
They barely believed it either: Jonah Coleman still on the board at pick 83. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cayden Green
Cayden Green slid further than he should have, and the 99th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick101 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in slot 101 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Bryce Lance in Round 4, Pick 8 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Austin Siereveld
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent the 111th pick on Austin Siereveld, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick120 Rnd4 Logan Jones
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 120 on Logan Jones with edge rusher unsolved.
Pick132 Rnd4 DJ Campbell
A curious use of the 132nd overall pick. Edge rusher needed the pick; an offensive lineman in DJ Campbell did not.
Pick133 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
Bray Hubbard at No. 133 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jyaire Hill
They paid sticker price for Jyaire Hill in pick 138, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A big swing on Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kage Casey
No edge and no loss on Kage Casey in the 146th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick149 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A reach on Aaron Graves in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
They jumped the gun on Bryce Boettcher, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. at No. 164 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny in slot 172 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
They did well to land Duce Robinson in pick 174, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181 Rnd5 Bud Clark
A conviction pick on Bud Clark at the 181st pick that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201 Rnd6 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey at pick No. 201 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
They took DeAndre Moore Jr. at par in slot 214, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at the 222nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan White
A real head-scratcher, Jordan White in pick 234 is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
