Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Steelers for Ersery: B+.

The Steelers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Aireontae Ersery, the No. 48 name on the board, in slot 106. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 30 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts slid further than he should have, and pick No. 62 is lovely value for the safety. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at the Round 3 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick106 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in pick 106 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jalen Milroe in the 122nd overall pick, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Taking Savion Williams in the 125th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick143 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at slot 143 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson in Round 5, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
No drama and no debate, JJ Pegues went about where he belonged in the 171st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
By-the-book stuff, Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick184 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They barely believed it either: DJ Giddens still on the board at slot 184. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at pick No. 187 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Cobee Bryant at the 196th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 CJ West
CJ West slipping to No. 225 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They liked Donovan Smith enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 231. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
