Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 99: the Steelers steal Sellers and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like LaNorris Sellers slides to pick No. 99, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Orange to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In slot 16 they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
No drama and no debate, Olaivavega Ioane went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Good price on A.J. Haulcy in the 77th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A reach for Domonique Orange in pick 78; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
They barely believed it either: LaNorris Sellers still on the board at pick No. 99. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
