Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Drew Allar at No. 99 regardless, 36 picks early. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That Thieneman pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

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

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 18th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Emmanuel Pregnon. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 53 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keionte Scott at pick 76 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick79 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
A reach on Zachariah Branch in pick No. 98; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Drew Allar
Value said wait; Drew Allar in pick 99 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
A straight-up fair deal on Riley Mahlman at slot 224, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
