Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

The search is over. The Steelers handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Neyor steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The cost of the McMahon reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in slot 85. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Blake Fisher at the 120th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 121 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
A big swing on Dylan McMahon at No. 199, well ahead of any board in the building. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick242 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
Isaiah Neyor at the 242nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
