Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Steelers and Green: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Taylen Green got past him. The Steelers do not have to explain a thing at slot 213. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will need Hobbs to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They went 8 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 16th overall pick they get the heartbeat of the defense. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Chris Bell
A slide stopped in pick 47, with Chris Bell worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick77 Rnd3 Colton Hood
They read the board right and Colton Hood was the payoff at the 77th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick78 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at slot 78 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cayden Green
The board had Cayden Green higher than the Round 3 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick117 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch at pick No. 117 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore is a better player than Round 4, Pick 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Justin Joly
Justin Joly in No. 156 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick214 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
Makhi Hughes in slot 214 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
A tidy little value on Isaiah Nwokobia in the 218th pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Value said wait; Daevin Hobbs in pick 229 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
