Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Steelers let Harris fall into their laps, and walked away with a C.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Tre Harris slide 196 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A mixed bag that lands at C.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant is a better player than the 36th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at pick No. 41 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 63 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in slot 83, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at Round 3, Pick 24 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Trey Amos
They barely believed it either: Trey Amos still on the board at pick 123. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
The board fumbled Jahdae Barron all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick182 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 182nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kyle Kennard
Kyle Kennard at the 185th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Darien Porter
Circle this one: Darien Porter at pick No. 221 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
They will replay Miles Frazier at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick229 Rnd7 Logan Brown
Taking Logan Brown in Round 7, Pick 13 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
You do not let a wide receiver like Dont'e Thornton Jr. reach No. 251 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in the 257th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
