Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureF
A weekend the Steelers spent fighting the board, and losing. F.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Malachi Fields, 40 picks early at the Round 1 slot. About as rough as the board gets, and a F to prove it.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. The Lew value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a lead back with juice at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Malachi Fields
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, a steep price for the projection.
Pick85 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Taking Connor Lew in the 85th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 121 with a little surplus value in Trinidad Chambliss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
No drama and no debate, Kyle Louis went about where he belonged in No. 135. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Fernando Carmona
By-the-book stuff, Fernando Carmona at pick 213 squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tosh Baker
They reached a country mile for Tosh Baker at pick No. 214, and the board is aghast. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
