Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers answered their biggest question with Sanders. Grade: B.

Start where it matters. The Steelers took Shedeur Sanders to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They are betting Pegues proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Hancock at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In No. 21 they get their guy under center for the next decade, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick83 Rnd3 Deone Walker
By-the-book stuff, Deone Walker at pick No. 83 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo slid further than he should have, and the 123rd pick is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick156 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 18 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the 185th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock slipping to slot 229 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
