NeedB-

FutureB-
The Steelers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Bryce Foster, 93 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Corleone pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick16
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the 16th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value.
Pick46
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in pick 46, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick47
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Nice patience on Walter Nolen, who had no business lasting to No. 47. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick52
Rnd2
Mykel Williams
Value with a capital V on Mykel Williams in slot 52, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
Nothing to complain about; Jaxson Dart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 2, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick65
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
No edge and no loss on Danny Stutsman in Round 3, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jordan Hancock
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Hancock at slot 66 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Garrett Nussmeier
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Garrett Nussmeier. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick68
Rnd3
Barion Brown
Barion Brown at pick 68 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick69
Rnd3
Clay Webb
They talked themselves into Clay Webb at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at No. 72 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick74
Rnd3
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in the 74th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick75
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sonny Styles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at pick 76 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick79
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in No. 79 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick80
Rnd3
Trevor Etienne
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Etienne at the 80th pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick81
Rnd3
Dontay Corleone
Steal is underselling it; Dontay Corleone at pick No. 81 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84
Rnd3
Nic Anderson
They paid sticker price for Nic Anderson in Round 3, Pick 20, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jason Marshall Jr.
A reach for Jason Marshall Jr. in slot 86; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87
Rnd3
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the 87th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 24, just ahead of his grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick89
Rnd3
J. Michael Sturdivant
They went early on J. Michael Sturdivant in No. 89, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Germie Bernard
They reached into another round for Germie Bernard, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jaydn Ott
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jaydn Ott at the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Drew Allar
They let Drew Allar come to them and pounced at pick 104. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick105
Rnd4
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at the 105th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108
Rnd4
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 108 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Bryce Foster
Value said wait; Bryce Foster in slot 110 says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick116
Rnd4
Antonio Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antonio Williams this early at slot 116. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick118
Rnd4
Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at pick No. 118 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
No drama and no debate, Domani Jackson went about where he belonged in the 120th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
A big swing on Deontae Lawson at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128
Rnd4
Riley Mahlman
A premium they did not need to pay, Riley Mahlman a notch or two before his time. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jaeden Roberts
A quiet steal in pick 141: Jaeden Roberts for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick205
Rnd7
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in the 205th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
