Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesC- FutureA
The Steelers cashed the board's mistake on Washington Jr.: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Steelers watched Mike Washington Jr. slide 26 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They are betting Allar proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at No. 21 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick53 Rnd2 Chris Bell
Chris Bell at Round 2, Pick 21 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Somehow Zachariah Branch was still sitting there in pick 85, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malik Muhammad
Steal is underselling it; Malik Muhammad at pick No. 121 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A big swing on Drew Allar at the 135th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A straight-up fair deal on Beau Stephens at the 161st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Toriano Pride Jr.
Fair-plus on Toriano Pride Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick224 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
A quiet steal in pick No. 224: Riley Nowakowski for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
They let Keyshaun Elliott come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Value with a capital V on Robert Spears-Jennings in slot 237, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
