Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 7: the Steelers steal Reid and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Karene Reid slide, and the Steelers were the ones holding the card at the 225th overall pick. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Nothing to complain about; Aireontae Ersery went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick83 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A slide stopped in pick 83, with Jayden Higgins worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at No. 122 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kurtis Rourke
The board fumbled Kurtis Rourke all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick225 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Taking Karene Reid in the 225th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at pick No. 231 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 247th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
