Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Steelers reached some 85 spots for Taylen Green, and value like that does not grow back. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
They banked enough surplus on Scott to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Davis pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Chris Brazzell II
In the 29th pick they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jacob Rodriguez
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jacob Rodriguez in slot 75, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dontay Corleone
They did well to land Dontay Corleone in pick No. 76, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85
Rnd3
Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at Round 3, Pick 21 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keylan Rutledge at pick 90 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
The board fumbled Keionte Scott all the way to the 91st overall pick, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99
Rnd3
Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at Round 3, Pick 35 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109
Rnd4
Taylen Green
A big swing on Taylen Green at the 109th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
They zigged when the board said zag, taking J.C. Davis at offensive lineman with edge rusher open.
Pick126
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in pick No. 126 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
No edge and no loss on Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 135; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148
Rnd5
Kaytron Allen
They paid sticker price for Kaytron Allen in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at the 161st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell at slot 169 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kobe Baynes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kobe Baynes in slot 216. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick224
Rnd7
VJ Payne
Taking VJ Payne in the 224th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230
Rnd7
Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister in pick No. 230 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237
Rnd7
Zavion Thomas
Zavion Thomas at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
