Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Hunter: B-.

Somebody in the 159th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Steelers sat still while Lee Hunter, the No. 58 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Alexander pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 9 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Spencer Fano
In pick 21 they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick53 Rnd2 Garrett Nussmeier
A wild overpay on Garrett Nussmeier in slot 53, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
The board had Keionte Scott higher than No. 76, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
They robbed the room for Antonio Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jalon Kilgore
A conviction pick on Jalon Kilgore at pick No. 99 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at the 121st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tyren Montgomery
A real head-scratcher, Tyren Montgomery in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159 Rnd5 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in Round 5, Pick 21 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick213 Rnd6 Miller Moss
Miller Moss at Round 6, Pick 34 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Nwokobia in No. 214, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick224 Rnd7 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at the 224th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
They paid up for Owen Heinecke at pick 237 when waiting would have done the job. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
