Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let Nolen fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Walter Nolen tumbling to the Steelers in the 225th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick52 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Steal is underselling it; Cam Ward at slot 52 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Matthew Golden
They will replay Matthew Golden at pick No. 83 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
The board fumbled Ashton Jeanty all the way to the 122nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kenneth Grant
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Kenneth Grant in the 163rd pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225 Rnd7 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at No. 225 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick247 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in pick 247 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
