Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 99 lands the Steelers a B-, Neal and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Julian Neal, No. 99, roughly 22 picks past where he belonged.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Louis lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A tidy bit of business in slot 53, where Dillon Thieneman graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They let Keionte Scott come to them and pounced at the 76th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Value with a capital V on Domonique Orange in pick 85, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in No. 99 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
By-the-book stuff, Keylan Rutledge at pick No. 121 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
The board had cheaper options than Kyle Louis at Round 4, Pick 35, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Taylen Green. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick213 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
They paid sticker price for J. Michael Sturdivant in Round 6, Pick 34, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick214 Rnd6 Hykeem Williams
A premium they did not need to pay, Hykeem Williams a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at the 224th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
They took Tosh Baker at par in pick No. 237, which is nothing to complain about. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
