Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
Klubnik is the plan now, and the Steelers grade out a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Steelers were there to profit. Garrett Nussmeier, the No. 6 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 251. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

Everything downstream of Cade Klubnik depends on Cade Klubnik, and the building knows it. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In No. 13 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26 Rnd1 Cade Klubnik
In the 26th overall pick they get the face of the franchise, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Taking Anthony Hill Jr. in the 46th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Spencer Fano
Spencer Fano in pick No. 73 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick98 Rnd3 LT Overton
LT Overton at No. 98 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jordyn Tyson
The board fumbled Jordyn Tyson all the way to pick 114, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jermod McCoy
Steal is underselling it; Jermod McCoy at Round 5, Pick 15 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 LaNorris Sellers
They barely believed it either: LaNorris Sellers still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick227 Rnd7 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at the 227th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Garrett Nussmeier
Circle this one: Garrett Nussmeier at slot 251 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
