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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Steelers shredded theirs for KJ Jefferson. He came off 71 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Henderson. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 21 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at Round 2, Pick 20 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick83 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 83 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at slot 161 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick211 Rnd6 Jalen Travis
A wild overpay on Jalen Travis in pick 211, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick223 Rnd7 KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at the 223rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
