Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Steelers.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Steelers took Tanner Mordecai at slot 249, roughly 54 spots before his name belonged.

They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while safety, linebacker and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 28 they get protection for the quarterback, even if it was a touch early.
Pick52 Rnd2 Kalen King
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kalen King in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They paid sticker price for Michael Hall Jr. in the 84th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick99 Rnd3 Drake Nugent
Of all the spots to shop, they chose offensive lineman. Drake Nugent in pick 99 leaves safety, linebacker and other spots for later.
Pick119 Rnd4 DJ James
Fair-plus on DJ James, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in Round 4, Pick 20 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick198 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
Value said wait; J.J. Weaver in pick No. 198 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick241 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 241st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Tanner Mordecai
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tanner Mordecai this early at the 249th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
