Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall

The Steelers let Mondon Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: A-. When a board-topper like Smael Mondon Jr. slides to pick No. 128, you do not overthink it, and the Steelers did not. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The cost of the Anderson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Nic Scourton and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Nic Scourton
In the 32nd overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick92
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Somehow Jalen Milroe was still sitting there in the 92nd pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nothing to complain about; Nicholas Singleton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick107
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
By-the-book stuff, Ozzy Trapilo at Round 4, Pick 6 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 128 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133
Rnd4
Shemar Stewart
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick No. 133 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in pick 150 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Lathan Ransom at Round 5, Pick 13 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162
Rnd5
Nic Anderson
The board had cheaper options than Nic Anderson at pick 162, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172
Rnd5
Dane Key
Dane Key at pick No. 172 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223
Rnd7
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 223rd pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245
Rnd7
Aubrey Burks
Aubrey Burks at the 245th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
