Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

There is reaching, and then there is Luke Elzinga at pick No. 163. The Steelers jumped the board by 30 and dared it to prove them wrong. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

However the rest shakes out, Dike at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In slot 21 they get a disruptive interior force, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick52 Rnd2 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 52nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Fair-plus on Elijah Arroyo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at pick 122 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga at No. 163 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
They barely believed it either: Chimere Dike still on the board at Round 7, Pick 7. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
They robbed the room for Carson Vinson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick247 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at Round 7, Pick 29 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
