Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Steelers to a D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Steelers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They are betting Hall proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Getting Reese where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Arvell Reese at the 21st overall pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick22 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 22nd pick they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
They let Keith Abney II come to them and pounced at pick No. 55. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad is a better player than slot 85 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cade Klubnik
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 35: Cade Klubnik for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick213 Rnd6 PJ Williams
They paid up for PJ Williams at pick 213 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick214 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at No. 214 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A reach for Micah Morris in the 237th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
