Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Klubnik: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Cade Klubnik at the 94th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Coogan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In slot 30 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They let Sonny Styles come to them and pounced at the 62nd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Drew Shelton
Drew Shelton at pick No. 76 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
Steal is underselling it; Cade Klubnik at No. 94 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Value with a capital V on Zakee Wheatley in pick 99, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
Fair-plus on DJ McKinney, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Terrance Carter Jr.
A reach for Terrance Carter Jr. in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
Nothing to complain about; Darius Taylor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
They read the board right and Aamil Wagner was the payoff at the 179th overall pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick210 Rnd6 Noah Fifita
You do not let a quarterback like Noah Fifita reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in pick No. 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick247 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
A quiet steal in slot 247: De'Zhaun Stribling for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
