Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
B+
ValueB

TradesA+
FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Steelers a B+. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Steven Parker at pick No. 229, a reach of 93 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
On value alone, Stutsman makes the weekend a net positive. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tre Harris
Tre Harris at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick84
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in No. 84 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick89
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 89th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at pick 97 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 120 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jack Bech
Taking Jack Bech in pick No. 126 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
A running back of that caliber at No. 138 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick154
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 154 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208
Rnd6
Upton Stout
Upton Stout in the 208th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick223
Rnd7
Max Brosmer
This one needs a full-page explanation: Max Brosmer in slot 223, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick229
Rnd7
Steven Parker
A wild overpay on Steven Parker in Round 7, Pick 13, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in pick 242, plain and simple. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
