Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Steelers: B-.

The Steelers did not so much draft J.J. Weaver as overpay for him, 75 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Allar falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. 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
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
No drama and no debate, Abdul Carter went about where he belonged in the 14th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Isaiah Bond
Good price on Isaiah Bond in slot 46, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick78 Rnd3 Quincy Riley
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Quincy Riley worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick142 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Taking Drew Allar in pick 142 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slid further than he should have, and the 146th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick184 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
They reached into another round for J.J. Weaver, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd7 Jo'Quavious Marks
Jo'Quavious Marks slipping to slot 196 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206 Rnd7 Gavin Bartholomew
Gavin Bartholomew in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
