Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C+
ValueD NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Nussmeier in the fold, and a C+ for the Steelers.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Thieneman, the 99th overall pick, roughly 64 picks past where he belonged.

So much rides on Garrett Nussmeier that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The cost of the Nussmeier reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a franchise quarterback, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
They robbed the room for Kayden McDonald here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Taurean York
Taurean York at the 76th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deion Burks
By-the-book stuff, Deion Burks at Round 3, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick99 Rnd3 Dillon Thieneman
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Dillon Thieneman in pick 99, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
