Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Steelers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Neal has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Scott.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 53rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick60 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
A tidy little value on Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 60, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Keionte Scott in No. 76. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Julian Neal
They reached into another round for Julian Neal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Good price on Bryce Lance in pick 121, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bud Clark at the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Drew Allar
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 159, where Drew Allar graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
