Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Howard from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Will Howard at pick 185 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If Cook pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 29 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick61 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at Round 2, Pick 29 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter slipping to pick No. 83 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the 123rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick185 Rnd6 Will Howard
Steal is underselling it; Will Howard at slot 185 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick229 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at pick 229 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 245th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
