Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureF
The Steelers overdrafted Louis and paid the price. Grade: F. There is reaching, and then there is Kyle Louis at pick 76. The Steelers jumped the board by 74 and dared it to prove them wrong. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Crownover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In the 8th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Emmanuel Pregnon
In the 21st overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick76
Rnd3
Kyle Louis
They reached a country mile for Kyle Louis at pick 76, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85
Rnd3
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at Round 3, Pick 21 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick99
Rnd3
Bud Clark
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bud Clark. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Dametrious Crownover
A want over a need in slot 121: Dametrious Crownover adds an offensive lineman while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick135
Rnd4
Skyler Gill-Howard
They paid sticker price for Skyler Gill-Howard in the 135th overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137
Rnd4
Malik Benson
Malik Benson at No. 137 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at Round 5, Pick 21 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197
Rnd6
Oscar Delp
A clean, defensible pick in the 197th pick with a little surplus value in Oscar Delp. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237
Rnd7
Desmond Reid
They liked Desmond Reid enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 237. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
