Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Steelers would have aced it. Max Iheanachor at No. 53 is 27 spots clear of where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Landing Jennings that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Jones pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman and running back.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
They let Makai Lemon come to them and pounced at pick 21. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick53 Rnd2 Max Iheanachor
A wild overpay on Max Iheanachor in Round 2, Pick 21, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76 Rnd3 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at the 76th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Golday
You do not let an edge rusher like Jake Golday reach the 85th overall pick and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
The board had Zakee Wheatley higher than pick No. 99, and the safety fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
A tidy little value on Jaishawn Barham in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Logan Jones
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Logan Jones at offensive lineman with interior defensive lineman and running back open.
Pick159 Rnd5 Sam Roush
No edge and no loss on Sam Roush in pick No. 159; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213 Rnd6 Luke Altmyer
Fair-plus on Luke Altmyer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at the 214th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh in the 224th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Jennings at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
