Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Steelers: C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent pick 234 on J.J. Weaver, a name the board had a full 118 spots lower.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Reid. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

So much rides on Isaiah Bond that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Isaiah Bond
In slot 27 they get a go-to option on the outside, even if it was a touch early.
Pick60 Rnd2 Drew Allar
A real head-scratcher, Drew Allar in pick No. 60 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at pick 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
A big swing on Anthony Belton at the 129th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick153 Rnd5 Karene Reid
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Karene Reid in Round 5, Pick 15, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick224 Rnd7 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 224th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They reached into another round for J.J. Weaver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jalen Rivers
A wild overpay on Jalen Rivers in Round 7, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
