Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

The Steelers torched the value chart for Nick Nash, taking him 120 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Skattebo. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dillon Gabriel
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dillon Gabriel this early at pick No. 59. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach Round 3, Pick 1 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They took Tez Johnson at par in slot 90, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Nick Nash
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nick Nash well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick155 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Circle this one: Carson Schwesinger at the 155th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
A wild overpay on Nohl Williams in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at the 226th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 232 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick238 Rnd7 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in the 238th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
