Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureD-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C for the Steelers.

Some picks age like wine; Jacob Rodriguez at the Round 4 slot will need to, sitting 31 spots clear of his grade.

That Scott pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Adding Blake Fisher by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

If Denzel Boston and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A conviction pick on Emmanuel Pregnon at pick 38 that the board grades a round light. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick53 Rnd2 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in pick No. 53 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at No. 59 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They paid sticker price for Lee Hunter in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Steal is underselling it; Michael Taaffe at slot 85 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Keionte Scott in slot 99, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
A big swing on Jacob Rodriguez at the 121st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at pick 127 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Value with a capital V on Trinidad Chambliss in the 133rd overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Terion Stewart
A wild overpay on Terion Stewart in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
No drama and no debate, Mike Washington Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 139. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in No. 160 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick172 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor at Round 5, Pick 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick213 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
A premium they did not need to pay, Isaac Smith a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Kayin Lee
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kayin Lee. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Barion Brown at slot 224. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
