Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 223 lands the Steelers a B+, Harris and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tre Harris, the No. 23 name on the board, stolen at slot 223. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 9 of the wish list covered. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 22nd overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot.
Pick53 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Steal is underselling it; Cam Ward at pick 53 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 20, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in slot 120 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
They barely believed it either: Jahdae Barron still on the board at the 154th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at No. 229 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick242 Rnd7 Deontae Lawson
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 242 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
