Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B.

The war room fell hard for Francisco Mauigoa, and it showed at the Round 7 slot: 48 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

However the rest shakes out, Nelson at that price is a win they earned. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 22 they get a wrecking ball inside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in No. 52 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 83 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick86 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in the 86th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Alexander. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jabbar Muhammad
Fair-plus on Jabbar Muhammad, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 163 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick183 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 183rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
They will replay Kyle Monangai at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
The board fumbled Jordan Hancock all the way to Round 7, Pick 13, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
A real head-scratcher, Francisco Mauigoa in slot 247 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick253 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They talked themselves into Garrett Dellinger at No. 253, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
