Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers robbed the room for King. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kobe King at the 229th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They are betting Belton proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
No edge and no loss on Kenneth Grant in the 21st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick52 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 52 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They let Jayden Higgins come to them and pounced at the 83rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
They robbed the room for Elic Ayomanor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Anthony Belton in Round 5, Pick 24, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick223 Rnd7 Aydan White
Aydan White at slot 223 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick229 Rnd7 Kobe King
You do not let a linebacker like Kobe King reach No. 229 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
They will replay DJ Giddens at pick No. 245 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
