Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Steelers steal Lacy and grade out a B.

The board owed the Steelers one, and it paid up: Kyren Lacy, the No. 134 name on the board, sitting there at No. 225 like a gift left on the doorstep. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 6 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 21 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick52 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
A safety of that caliber at No. 52 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
The board fumbled Demetrius Knight Jr. all the way to the 83rd pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Donovan Jackson in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jalen Milroe
They barely believed it either: Jalen Milroe still on the board at pick No. 163. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
You do not let a wide receiver like Kyren Lacy reach the 225th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick231 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
Taking Raheim Sanders in pick 231 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in Round 7, Pick 29 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
