Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Steelers, and a B- to prove it.

The Steelers put a flag in the ground for Korey Foreman, 113 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The Higgins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick No. 53 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Rylie Mills well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Steal is underselling it; Dylan Sampson at slot 120 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick154 Rnd5 Connor Colby
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Connor Colby. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Taking Jay Higgins in the 223rd pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
A big swing on Korey Foreman at pick No. 229, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
