Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureD+
The Steelers bled value on every deal, hence the D+. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Steelers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
The Kiser pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Ransaw that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value.
Pick39
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in the 39th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at pick 83 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123
Rnd4
Chimere Dike
Steal is underselling it; Chimere Dike at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jack Kiser in the 156th pick, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
They took Kyle Williams at par in No. 173, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185
Rnd6
Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue is a better player than pick No. 185 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick229
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
They will replay Caleb Ransaw at slot 229 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
