Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Steelers

FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Steelers get a C+. The Steelers torched the value chart for David Daniel-Sisavanh, taking him 160 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
The Kamara value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Iheanachor pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots still on the board.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
R Mason Thomas
In the Round 1 slot they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53
Rnd2
Connor Tollison
Connor Tollison in the 53rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76
Rnd3
Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at Round 3, Pick 12 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85
Rnd3
Xavier Scott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavier Scott in No. 85, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Xavier Nwankpa
They reached a country mile for Xavier Nwankpa at the 99th pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121
Rnd4
Max Iheanachor
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Max Iheanachor in pick 121 leaves quarterback, interior defensive lineman and other spots for later.
Pick135
Rnd4
Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. at the 135th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart at the 159th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213
Rnd6
Malcolm Greene
A wild overpay on Malcolm Greene in pick No. 213, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tyreek Chappell
Value said wait; Tyreek Chappell in No. 214 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick224
Rnd7
David Daniel-Sisavanh
David Daniel-Sisavanh at Round 7, Pick 8 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237
Rnd7
Mikail Kamara
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Mikail Kamara in pick 237, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
