Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Steelers.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Taylen Green; the Steelers did not wait, grabbing him 59 spots ahead at No. 135.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. The Lane pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 1, Pick 21 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick53 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in pick 53 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Austin Barber
A real head-scratcher, Austin Barber in slot 76 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick No. 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 121st pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 135 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
A clean, defensible pick in pick 161 with a little surplus value in Zxavian Harris. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick224 Rnd7 Toriano Pride Jr.
Toriano Pride Jr. in Round 7, Pick 8 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Harrison Wallace III
They read the board right and Harrison Wallace III was the payoff at slot 230. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A wild overpay on Fa'alili Fa'amoe in the 237th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
