Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Steelers let Rice fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Brenden Rice, the No. 98 name on the board, stolen at No. 120.

The Limmer pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and tight end still on the board. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick65 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ruke Orhorhoro. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Max Melton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Melton at No. 93. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They read the board right and Khyree Jackson was the payoff at the 95th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick101 Rnd4 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They let Dadrion Taylor-Demerson come to them and pounced at the 101st overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 13 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick119 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
A curious use of pick No. 119. Edge rusher and tight end needed the pick; an offensive lineman in Beaux Limmer did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 120 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in slot 124; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A slide stopped in No. 125, with Leonard Taylor III worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Christian Jones adds an offensive lineman and leaves edge rusher and tight end untouched.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in Round 5, Pick 6, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick No. 160 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to pick 165 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
The board had Kitan Oladapo higher than slot 166, and the safety fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the 167th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick195 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
A clean, defensible pick in the 195th overall pick with a little surplus value in M.J. Devonshire. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They paid sticker price for Jaden Crumedy in pick No. 218, and that is fine. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick232 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
No drama and no debate, Michael Barrett went about where he belonged in No. 232. It fills a real need, too.
