Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB
Nothing loud, just a tidy B+ for the Steelers.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Deontae Lawson got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 3 slot. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

If Payton pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 8 of 9, with quarterback the one that mattered most. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Omar Cooper Jr. at the 47th overall pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick53 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They let Caleb Banks come to them and pounced at No. 53. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the Round 2 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A slide stopped in pick No. 78, with Keionte Scott worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malachi Fields in pick 85. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Somehow Deontae Lawson was still sitting there in No. 99, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Value with a capital V on Julian Neal in the 113th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
By-the-book stuff, J.C. Davis at slot 121 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick135 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
They paid sticker price for Kaytron Allen in the 135th overall pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton at Round 6, Pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick224 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
A straight-up fair deal on Zavion Thomas at slot 224, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Miles Kitselman at pick 237 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
