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

Whoever sat across the table from the Steelers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stukes. Spending an early pick on offensive lineman with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at slot 21 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53 Rnd2 Caleb Tiernan
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 53rd pick on Caleb Tiernan with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick99 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Treydan Stukes in the 99th overall pick, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bud Clark
A tidy little value on Bud Clark in Round 4, Pick 12, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick No. 121. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They did well to land Zxavian Harris in No. 161, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216 Rnd6 Dallen Bentley
Dallen Bentley in the 216th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Riley Nowakowski
By-the-book stuff, Riley Nowakowski at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
A straight-up fair deal on Kaden Wetjen at the 230th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
They paid sticker price for Zavion Thomas in Round 7, Pick 21, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
