Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Abney II fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Keith Abney II, No. 99, roughly 28 picks past where he belonged. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Zuhn III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
They read the board right and Kamari Ramsey was the payoff at slot 53. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
The board had Deontae Lawson higher than the Round 3 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at pick 85 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
You do not let a cornerback like Keith Abney II reach the 99th overall pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Deion Burks
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Deion Burks at pick No. 121 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick135 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
DJ McKinney in the 135th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
The board had cheaper options than Jacob Rodriguez at No. 159, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny at pick 214 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick215 Rnd6 Quintrevion Wisner
Quintrevion Wisner at No. 215 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick224 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 224 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jackson Arnold
Jackson Arnold in Round 7, Pick 21 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
