Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

The search is over. The Steelers handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

Taylor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 19 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 84 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A tidy little value on Tyler Davis in slot 120, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in pick 121, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick127 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
By-the-book stuff, Johnny Wilson at the 127th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dwight McGlothern in the 186th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
No drama and no debate, Drake Nugent went about where he belonged in the 197th overall pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick238 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Taylor in No. 238, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
