Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

There is reaching, and then there is Dallen Bentley at the 161st pick. The Steelers jumped the board by 46 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, linebacker and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Pregnon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emmanuel Pregnon at slot 53. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick56 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Good price on Lee Hunter in Round 2, Pick 24, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Golday at pick 76 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
A slide stopped in the 85th overall pick, with Treydan Stukes worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt is a better player than No. 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick99 Rnd3 Bud Clark
A straight-up fair deal on Bud Clark at pick No. 99, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jack Endries
They liked Jack Endries enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 112. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kage Casey
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Kage Casey in pick 121 leaves quarterback, linebacker and other spots for later.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
They talked themselves into Tim Keenan III at pick No. 135, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick216 Rnd6 Riley Nowakowski
Riley Nowakowski at the 216th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen in Round 7, Pick 8 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick230 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at No. 230 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
No edge and no loss on Zavion Thomas in the 237th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
