Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Steelers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Steelers did not so much draft Haynes King as overpay for him, 36 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Lew pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The Miller pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick No. 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 Carson Beck
A reach for Carson Beck in Round 3, Pick 8; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the 85th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick99 Rnd3 Blake Miller
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Blake Miller with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots unsolved.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jack Endries
You do not let a tight end like Jack Endries reach the 121st pick and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse in pick 136 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
They liked Earnest Greene III enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 160. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick213 Rnd6 Roderick Kearney
Roderick Kearney in slot 213 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick214 Rnd6 Haynes King
Haynes King in the 214th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Ahmaad Moses
They jumped the gun on Ahmaad Moses, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Hall in pick 237, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
