Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in the 76th pick: the Steelers steal Haulcy and grade out a D+.

Somebody took the Steelers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Payton reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Getting Haulcy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick No. 21 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick22 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the 22nd overall pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. A real need, handled.
Pick23 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. More want than need.
Pick76 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They robbed the room for A.J. Haulcy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick214 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They liked Cole Payton enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 224. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Somehow Thaddeus Dixon was still sitting there in slot 237, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A need, and now a little less of one.
