Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Steelers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Riley Mahlman at pick No. 224 regardless, 68 picks early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The McNeil-Warren pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Denzel Boston
In pick 21 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at Round 2, Pick 21 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at slot 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in the Round 3 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick99 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Fair-plus on Nicholas Singleton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the 121st pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135 Rnd4 Drew Allar
A reach for Drew Allar in the 135th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159 Rnd5 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes at pick No. 159 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214 Rnd6 Alan Herron
Alan Herron in pick 214 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick224 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
A big swing on Riley Mahlman at Round 7, Pick 8, well ahead of any board in the building. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick237 Rnd7 Anez Cooper
Anez Cooper at slot 237 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
