Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Nolen: B.

Call it larceny. Walter Nolen sat on the board until the Round 7 slot, and the Steelers did not need to be asked twice.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
Somehow Travis Hunter was still sitting there in the Round 1 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Circle this one: Ashton Jeanty at No. 59 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90 Rnd3 Cam Ward
They will replay Cam Ward at slot 90 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tre Harris
You do not let a wide receiver like Tre Harris reach pick 128 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Taking Wyatt Milum in pick No. 153 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick225 Rnd7 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 225th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the 238th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
