Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Brown should have been long gone. The Steelers pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Logan Brown, slot 185, roughly 42 picks past where he belonged. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 6 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 21 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They robbed the room for Dylan Sampson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick123 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick162 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in Round 5, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Logan Brown
Somehow Logan Brown was still sitting there in the 185th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in slot 229 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick No. 245 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
