Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Steelers spent No. 218 on Nyziah Hunter, a name the board had a full 292 spots lower.

The Sabb value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In slot 16 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value.
Pick47 Rnd2 Cade Klubnik
A wild overpay on Cade Klubnik in the 47th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Xavier Chaplin
Xavier Chaplin in pick 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick78 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in No. 78 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99 Rnd3 Keon Sabb
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 99 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick117 Rnd4 Brendan Sorsby
Nice patience on Brendan Sorsby, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 17. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick133 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
No edge and no loss on Michael Trigg in the 133rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick156 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
A straight-up fair deal on DeMonte Capehart at the 156th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
By-the-book stuff, Makhi Hughes at pick 213 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas at No. 214 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd7 Nyziah Hunter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nyziah Hunter well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick229 Rnd7 Avery Johnson
Value said wait; Avery Johnson in Round 7, Pick 14 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
