Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Singleton should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Nicholas Singleton, the 135th overall pick, roughly 34 picks past where he belonged.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman and edge rusher went begging.

Tollison has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the 21st pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 53rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Connor Lew in No. 76 leaves interior defensive lineman and edge rusher for later.
Pick85 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at Round 3, Pick 21 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Sam Roush
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 99, where Sam Roush graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
A conviction pick on Cade Klubnik at slot 121 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
They robbed the room for Nicholas Singleton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ar'maj Reed-Adams. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick216 Rnd6 Jimmy Rolder
No drama and no debate, Jimmy Rolder went about where he belonged in the 216th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon slid further than he should have, and the 224th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena at pick No. 237 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
