Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick 226 lands the Steelers a B-, Skattebo and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Cam Skattebo had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 10, and the Steelers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Jackson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Darien Porter
They reached a country mile for Darien Porter at No. 57, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
A conviction pick on Smael Mondon Jr. at the 89th pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick158 Rnd5 Theo Wease Jr.
Value said wait; Theo Wease Jr. in pick 158 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in Round 7, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at the 233rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick242 Rnd7 Giles Jackson
Giles Jackson in slot 242 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
