NEXT YEAR (2027)
 
Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureC+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Steelers a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Steelers took Jamari Lyons at No. 214, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thieneman. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Makai Lemon
In slot 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Isaiah World
Isaiah World in the 51st pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Dillon Thieneman in No. 59, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They reached into another round for Darrell Jackson Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
They will replay Deontae Lawson at pick No. 76 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A conviction pick on Taylen Green at the 159th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick213 Rnd6 Riley Mahlman
A big swing on Riley Mahlman at pick No. 213, well ahead of any board in the building. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jamari Lyons
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamari Lyons well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They took J. Michael Sturdivant at par in pick 224, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Micah Morris
They reached a country mile for Micah Morris at Round 7, Pick 21, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
