Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureF
The Steelers jumped the board for Sorey Jr. and paid for it: F.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Xavian Sorey Jr. in the 243rd overall pick, a good 54 spots before the room expected him. There is no dressing it up: a F.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Jennings value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In No. 21 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. More want than need.
Pick33 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at pick No. 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick38 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caleb Banks in the 38th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in Round 2, Pick 21 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Value with a capital V on Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 67th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
By-the-book stuff, Domonique Orange at pick 76 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carter Smith
Carter Smith at Round 3, Pick 13 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick85 Rnd3 Gabe Jacas
They liked Gabe Jacas enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick92 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
They robbed the room for Keionte Scott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
A quiet steal in No. 99: Skyler Bell for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mikail Kamara. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
A tidy little value on D'Angelo Ponds in the 112th pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore at slot 121 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the 122nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Diego Pavia
Steal is underselling it; Diego Pavia at the 128th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
The board had cheaper options than Jacob Rodriguez at No. 136, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor at Round 5, Pick 12 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick154 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
A conviction pick on Terion Stewart at pick No. 154 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor slipping to slot 160 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick166 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
No edge and no loss on DJ Campbell in pick 166; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick175 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Good price on Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd5 Bud Clark
No drama and no debate, Bud Clark went about where he belonged in the 179th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Oscar Delp
The board had Oscar Delp higher than the 184th overall pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick185 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at slot 185 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick191 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at pick 191 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick192 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick202 Rnd6 Barion Brown
They jumped the gun on Barion Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Hykeem Williams
They reached a country mile for Hykeem Williams at the 213th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Haynes King
They reached into another round for Haynes King, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215 Rnd6 Da'Shawn Womack
Da'Shawn Womack at Round 6, Pick 35 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick218 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith at No. 218 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd7 Anthony Evans III
They paid a round early for Anthony Evans III in pick 219, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick224 Rnd7 Rueben Owens II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rueben Owens II well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Solomon Tuliaupupu
Solomon Tuliaupupu in pick No. 229 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, J. Michael Sturdivant at the 236th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A real head-scratcher, Micah Morris in slot 237 is miles ahead of his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick239 Rnd7 Noah Thomas
Value said wait; Noah Thomas in the 239th pick says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick241 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A wild overpay on Roman Hemby in Round 7, Pick 25, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Circle this one: Kevin Jennings at Round 7, Pick 26 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick243 Rnd7 Xavian Sorey Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Xavian Sorey Jr. this early at pick No. 243. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Duce Chestnut
Duce Chestnut at No. 254 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
They took Jalil Farooq at par in the 257th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
