Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall F
ValueC NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Steelers let Jennings fall and pounced. Final grade: F.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Steelers started one anyway for Bryce Foster, 31 picks ahead of schedule. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jennings. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
A conviction pick on Taliese Fuaga at the 18th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick19 Rnd1 Kalen King
In No. 19 they get a sticky cover corner, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at slot 50 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey in Round 2, Pick 20 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick82 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
No drama and no debate, Marist Liufau went about where he belonged in pick 82. The roster fit checks out.
Pick118 Rnd4 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III in slot 118 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Travis at pick No. 132, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
Value said wait; Bryce Foster in No. 196 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ali Jennings
The board fumbled Ali Jennings all the way to the 239th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
A reach on Kenny Logan Jr. in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Trey Knox
They went early on Trey Knox in the 256th pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
