Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent the 55th pick on Michael Pratt, a name most had 34 spots down the list.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Colby pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots still on the board.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Schrader.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 23rd overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. More want than need.
Pick55 Rnd2 Michael Pratt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Michael Pratt. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Max Melton
A slide stopped in pick No. 113, with Max Melton worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Connor Colby
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Connor Colby while clear needs at interior defensive lineman, safety and other spots sat open.
Pick201 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
The board had Jaylan Ford higher than pick 201, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick244 Rnd7 Cody Schrader
They will replay Cody Schrader at Round 7, Pick 24 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
