Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Steelers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Steelers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

If Reid pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Adding Tyler Guyton by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In the 32nd overall pick they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Antonio Williams at slot 78. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks at pick No. 99 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They went early on Jalon Kilgore in No. 110, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
They paid sticker price for Xavier Scott in pick 113, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
A straight-up fair deal on Monroe Freeling at Round 4, Pick 16, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick133 Rnd4 Drew Allar
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drew Allar in the 133rd pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick154 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
No edge and no loss on DeMonte Capehart in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
Jermaine Mathews Jr. in slot 178 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Desmond Reid
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Desmond Reid. It fills a real need, too.
Pick214 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia in pick 214 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick217 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
A conviction pick on Trebor Pena at Round 7, Pick 2 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick225 Rnd7 Cam Calhoun
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Calhoun in pick No. 225. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick229 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Altmyer. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kelby Collins
A wild overpay on Kelby Collins in No. 247, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
