Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC NeedA- TradesA+ FutureC+
The Steelers turned the phones into found money: B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Ollie Gordon II in slot 83, a good 88 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The K'Lavon Chaisson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 24th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick77 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
The board had cheaper options than Quinn Ewers at the 77th pick, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ollie Gordon II
Value said wait; Ollie Gordon II in Round 3, Pick 19 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick89 Rnd3 Billy Bowman Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Billy Bowman Jr. this early at pick No. 89. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
No drama and no debate, Cobee Bryant went about where he belonged in slot 123. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A tidy little value on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 185, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
Akili Arnold at the Round 7 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
