Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Steelers let Ransaw fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Steelers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Caleb Ransaw fell into pick 229. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Milroe left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 9 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at slot 63 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 83 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 123rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick156 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Good price on O'Donnell Fortune in pick No. 156, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick185 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
No edge and no loss on JJ Pegues in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at pick 229 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
