Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the C+ tells the story.

The Steelers torched the value chart for Haynes King, taking him 156 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They banked enough surplus on Leavitt to cover a lot of smaller sins.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

So much rides on Jeremiyah Love that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
They will replay Jeremiyah Love at slot 30 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick39 Rnd2 Fernando Mendoza
Fernando Mendoza in the 39th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Eric Singleton Jr.
Eric Singleton Jr. in the 76th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaden Greathouse in Round 4, Pick 31, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Haynes King
Value said wait; Haynes King in pick No. 133 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia in slot 257 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
