Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Haulcy: C.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Steelers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Haulcy falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Every board in the league had Wetjen lower, and that gap is the story.

If Sonny Styles and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
By-the-book stuff, Gennings Dunker at slot 53 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick76 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
Somehow A.J. Haulcy was still sitting there in the 76th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in No. 85 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at Round 3, Pick 28 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick99 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Taking Domonique Orange in the 99th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Steal is underselling it; Malik Muhammad at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dametrious Crownover
No drama and no debate, Dametrious Crownover went about where he belonged in the 142nd overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick161 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Fair-plus on Drew Allar, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
They robbed the room for Marlin Klein here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kendrick Law
A reach on Kendrick Law in pick 184; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen at No. 218 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Landon Robinson
Landon Robinson in Round 7, Pick 8 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Andre Fuller slid further than he should have, and slot 257 is lovely value for the cornerback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
