Draft Grade — Steelers

ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Steelers let King fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Kalen King at the 178th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. It is not that Mahogany is a bad player; it is that the Steelers had louder needs to answer first.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Tampa at slot 51, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
They robbed the room for Ricky Pearsall here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Christian Mahogany in the 98th overall pick leaves interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots for later.
Pick119 Rnd4 James Williams
By-the-book stuff, James Williams at pick 119 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kalen King
They barely believed it either: Kalen King still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They paid sticker price for Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 20, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
