Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Raheim Sanders at Round 7, Pick 7 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will need Oliver to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 21st pick they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at slot 52 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 83rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 163rd pick is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick225 Rnd7 Raheim Sanders
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach slot 225 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A slide stopped in No. 231, with Theo Wease Jr. worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
A real head-scratcher, Collin Oliver in Round 7, Pick 29 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
