Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Good, not great, for the Steelers: B.

The Steelers spent real capital to be 86 picks early on Behren Morton, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Scott pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon is a better player than Round 1, Pick 21 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
The board had Lee Hunter higher than slot 59, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at pick 71 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They barely believed it either: Jake Golday still on the board at the 85th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the 99th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Bryce Lance in pick No. 121, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Beau Stephens. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick161 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
A big swing on Keagen Trost at No. 161, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick224 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at pick No. 224 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Behren Morton
Behren Morton at pick 230 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Nick Barrett
A reach on Nick Barrett in Round 7, Pick 21; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
