Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Steelers spent the 237th overall pick on Joe Fagnano, a name most had 70 spots down the list. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Getting Pregnon where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Reed-Adams pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, running back and other spots.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In No. 26 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon in Round 2, Pick 21 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
The board had Zachariah Branch higher than slot 76, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
They let Michael Taaffe come to them and pounced at the 85th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Nice patience on Chandler Rivers, who had no business lasting to pick 99. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Nothing to complain about; Bryce Lance went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots to take Ar'maj Reed-Adams, an offensive lineman that was not the priority.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jude Bowry
Value with a capital V on Jude Bowry in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick213 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
Jadon Canady in pick No. 213 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at slot 214 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick220 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
No edge and no loss on Zxavian Harris in No. 220; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
They did well to land Isaiah Nwokobia in the 224th pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237 Rnd7 Joe Fagnano
A big swing on Joe Fagnano at pick 237, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
