Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Horton: B-.

Somebody in Round 6, Pick 39 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Tory Horton, the No. 169 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Isaiah Bond
In pick No. 27 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in pick 58 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick89 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
No drama and no debate, Deontae Lawson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 25. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Circle this one: Maxwell Hairston at the 128th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Benjamin Morrison
A tidy little value on Benjamin Morrison in slot 143, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tory Horton
Tory Horton at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Quinn Carroll
They robbed the room for Quinn Carroll here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A tidy bit of business in No. 229, where Kyren Lacy graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at slot 240 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
