Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall C-
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Steelers lost the trade table, and the C- tells the story.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Steelers took Kalen King a full 41 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Rouse value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at pick No. 51 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at No. 84 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd3 Kalen King
Kalen King at Round 3, Pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A big swing on Justin Eboigbe at the 119th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
No edge and no loss on Marist Liufau in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick178 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Nice patience on Walter Rouse, who had no business lasting to No. 178. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They paid up for Jaylen Harrell at slot 195 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Sam Hartman in pick No. 240, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
