Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers won the night they stopped Lew from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Connor Lew got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at the 84th overall pick.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In slot 20 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers in pick 52 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 13, where Antonio Williams graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Connor Lew
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent No. 84 on Connor Lew, an offensive lineman they were not short of.
Pick99 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Whit Weeks in the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
Somehow Cade Klubnik was still sitting there in the 120th overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They robbed the room for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick159 Rnd5 Justin Joly
Justin Joly slipping to pick No. 159 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
